Workspace Variable abs_coef

The matrix of total scalar absorption coefficients.

Contains the gas absorption summed over all species as a function of
f_grid and abs_p, i.e., for a single atmospheric profile.

This variable is not used explicitly in a standard calculation, where
absorption comes from the lookup table abs_lookup. However, it is
useful for testing the methods that actually calculate line-by-line
absorption, which have this variable as output. These methods are
called internally by the method abs_lookupCalc, which generates
the lookup table.

Dimensions: [f_grid, abs_p]

Unit: 1/m
