Agenda abs_xsec_agenda

Calculate scalar gas absorption cross sections.

Basically, this agenda calculates absorption for all the tags defined
in abs_species. It is used both in the calculation of an absorption
lookup table, and in on-the-fly calculations. Typical effects to
include here are:

Explicit line-by-line calculation (abs_xsec_per_speciesAddLines),

Continua and complete absorption models (abs_xsec_per_speciesAddConts), and

HITRAN style CIA continua (abs_xsec_per_speciesAddCIA)

The only kind of absorption tag not handled here are Zeeman tags
and free electron density tags, because they need additional input
and because they return an absorption matrix, rather than a scalar.

The include file 'agendas.arts' predefines a number of agendas that
should be useful for most users.
