Workspace Method iyEmissionStandard

Description

Standard method for radiative transfer calculations with emission.

Designed to be part of iy_main_agenda. That is, only valid
outside the cloudbox (no scattering). For details se the user guide.

The possible choices for iy_unit are
 "1"             : No conversion, i.e. [W/(m^2 Hz sr)] (radiance per
                     frequency unit).
 "RJBT"          : Conversion to Rayleigh-Jean brightness
                     temperature.
 "PlanckBT"      : Conversion to Planck brightness temperature.
 "W/(m^2 m sr)"  : Conversion to [W/(m^2 m sr)] (radiance per
                     wavelength unit).
 "W/(m^2 m-1 sr)": Conversion to [W/(m^2 m-1 sr)] (radiance per
                     wavenumber unit).
Expressions applied and considerations for the unit conversion of
radiances are discussed in Sec. 5.7 of the ARTS-2.0 article.

iy_unit is only applied if iy_agenda_call1 is 1. This means that
no unit ocnversion is applied for internal iterative calls.

Some auxiliary radiative transfer quantities can be obtained. Auxiliary
quantities are selected by iy_aux_vars and returned by iy_aux.
Valid choices for auxiliary data are:
 "Radiative background": Index value flagging the radiative
    background. The following coding is used: 0=space, 1=surface
    and 2=cloudbox.
 "Optical depth": Scalar optical depth between the observation point
    and the end of the present propagation path. Calculated based on
    the (1,1)-element of the transmission matrix (1-based indexing),
    i.e. only fully valid for scalar RT.
If nothing else is stated, only the first column of iy_aux is filled,
i.e. the column matching Stokes element I, while remaing columns are
are filled with zeros.
