cart2poslos

The inverse of poslos2cart.

Beside the cartesian coordinates (x,y,z,dx,dy,dz), the function takes as input information about the original position and LOS. The later data are used to improve the accuracy. For example, for zenith and nadir cases it is ensured that the latitude and longitude are not changed. This makes the function slower, but accuarcy is favoured as zenith, nadir, north and south line-of-sights are especially tricky as they can go along a grid box boundary and the smallest rounding error can move the path from one grid box to the neighbouring one.

Parameters

r	Out: Radius of observation position.
lat	Out: Latitude of observation position.
lon	Out: Longitude of observation position.
za	Out: LOS zenith angle at observation position.
aa	Out: LOS azimuth angle at observation position.

geomtanpoint2d

Position of the tangent point for 3D cases.

Geocentric coordinates are used for both sensor and tangent point positions.

The algorithm used for non-spherical cases is derived by Nick Lloyd at University of Saskatchewan, Canada (nick..nosp@m.lloy.nosp@m.d@usa.nosp@m.sk.c.nosp@m.a), and is part of the operational code for both OSIRIS and SMR on-board- the Odin satellite.

The zenith angle must be >= 90.

Parameters

r_tan	Out: Radius of tangent point.
lat_tan	Out: Latitude of tangent point.
lon_tan	Out: Longitude of tangent point.
r	Radius of observation position.
lat	Latitude of observation position.
lon	Longitude of observation position.
za	LOS zenith angle at observation position.
aa	LOS azimuth angle at observation position.

◆ lon_shiftgrid()

void lon_shiftgrid	(	Vector &	longrid_out,
		ConstVectorView	longrid_in,

lon_shiftgrid

Shifting longitude grid by +/- 360 to the same region as a given longitude.

Longitudes are allowed to be in [-360,360], but only covering at maximum 360 degrees at once. Different variables might be specified in different spaces of the allowed range. lon_shiftgrid shifts the longitude grid to the same space as the lon value. However, no check is done that lon is indeed within the range of longrid_out (only same region).

Parameters

longrid_out	Out: shifted longitude grid.
longrid_in	Original longitude grid.
lon	A longitude value.

pos2refell_r

Extracts the reference ellipsoid for the specified position.

If you know the latitude grid position of rte_pos, it is faster to use refell2d*.

Returns: Ellispoid radius

Parameters

refellipsoid	In: As the WSV with same name.
lat_grid	In: As the WSV with same name.

◆ refell2d()

Numeric refell2d	(	ConstVectorView	refellipsoid,

refell2d

Reference ellipsoid radius for points inside 2D and 3D atmospheres.

To be consistent with the ppath calculations, the ellipsoid radius shall be treated to vary linear between the latitude grid points. This function performs this operation. The latitude position is specified by its grid position (gp).

Returns: Ellispoid radius

Parameters

refellipsoid	In: As the WSV with same name.
lat_grid	In: As the WSV with same name.
gp	In: Latitude grid position.

◆ refell2r()

Numeric refell2r	(	ConstVectorView	refellipsoid,
		const Numeric &	lat
	)

refell2r

Reference ellipsoid radius, directly from refellipsoid.

Gives the distance from the Earth's centre and the reference ellipsoid as a function of geoCENTRIC latitude.

For 1D, extract r directly as refellipsoid[0] to save time.

This is the basic function to calculate the reference ellipsoid radius. However, inside the atmosphere this radius is just used at the positions of the lat_grid. A linear interpolation is applied between these points. This is handled by other functions. For 2D and 3D and the grid position is known, use refell2d. The function pos2refell_r handles all this in a general way (but not always the fastest option).

Returns: Ellispoid radius

Parameters

refellipsoid	In: As the WSV with same name.
latitude	In: A geoecentric latitude.
