• ARTS XML Data

  A collection of atmospheric profiles and auxiliary datasets for ARTS:

• ARTS Catalog Data

  A collection of line and crosssection catalogs for ARTS:

  • Packaged downloads can be found on Github attached as assets to each ARTS release
  • Stable version Subversion repository: https://arts.mi.uni-hamburg.de/svn/rt/arts-cat-data/branches/arts-cat-data-2.6/

• Typhon

  Typhon aims to be a collection of tools for atmospheric research for Python 3 (requires Python >=3.10), providing various physics and mathematical functions, tools for plotting, retrievals, collocations, cloudmasks etc.

  While ARTS related functionality such as XML input/output and the Python interface for ARTS started (and is still present) in Typhon, this part is currently moved over to the new PyARTS package described below.

  • Installation for Miniforge3 users: mamba install -c rttools typhon
  • Installation for pip users: pip install typhon
  • Packaged downloads: Typhon on PyPi
  • Documentation: https://www.radiativetransfer.org/misc/typhon/doc/
  • Github repository: https://github.com/atmtools/typhon
  • Latest Development Documentation: https://www.radiativetransfer.org/misc/typhon/doc-trunk/
  • For discussion and questions, a mailing list is available:
    • The typhon mailing list for developers and users of typhon.

• Atmlab (including qpack2)

  A collection of Matlab functions for interaction with ARTS-2. Contains routines for Mie scattering and absorption, atmospheric retrievals, generating atmospheric scenarios, reading/writing of arts XML files, plotting, etc...

  A lot of parts from Atmlab (plotting, physics functions) are now available also in the Typhon Python package and further development will mainly take place there. Accordingly, new users are recommended to use ARTS from Python (by Typhon and PyARTS). Support for Atmlab will be limited and will likely even cease at some point.

• Single Scattering Databases

  The databases contain single scattering data of ice particles that has been calculated using the discrete dipole approximation method (DDA). Mie reference calculations for liquid and ice spheres are also included.

  The database for total random orientation is available at

  

  The database for azimuthal random orientation is available at

  

  Database interfaces in Python and Matlab (only for total random orientation) are available at

  

  A description of the databases and the simulation method is available in the following articles. Please cite them if you use the databases for a publication:
