Workspace Method abs_lookupCreate

Description

Creates a gas absorption lookup table.

The lookup table stores absorption cross-sections as a function of
pressure. Additionally, absorption can be stored as a function of
temperature for temperature perturbations from a reference
profile.

Additionally, absorption can be stored as a function of water vapor
VMR perturbations from a reference profile. The variable abs_nls
specifies, for which species water vapor perturbations should be
generated.

Note, that the absorbing gas can be any gas, but the perturbing gas is
always H2O.

In contrast to other absorption functions, this method does not use
the input variable abs_h2o. This is because abs_h2o has to be set
interally to allow perturbations. If there are more than one H2O
species, the first is assumed to be the main one.
