Workspace Variable ppvar_optical_depth

The optical depth between the sensor and each point of the propagation path.

Returned as the one-way optical depth even in the case of radar
simulations. Just a scalar value, i.e. no polarisation information is
provided.

See ppvar_p for a general description of WSVs of ppvar-type.

Dimension: [ ppath.np, f_grid]

Usage: Output of radiative transfer methods.

Group: Matrix
