Workspace Method covmat1D

Description

Create 1D covariance matrix.

Creates a 1D covariance matrix for two retrieval quantities on given 
 grids from a given functional form. Elements  of the covariance matrix
are computed as
 S_{i,j} = sigma_i * sigma_j * f(d_{i,j} / l_{i,j}) 
 where d_{i,j} is the distance between the two grid points and l_{i,j}
 the mean of the correlation lengths of the grid points.

 If a cutoff value co is given elements with absolute value less than this 
 are set to zero.

The following functional forms are available:
  "exp": f(x) = exp(-x) 
  "lin": f(x) = 1.0 - x, for x > 1.0, 0.0 otherwise 
  "gauss": f(x) = exp(-x^2)
