WORKSPACE METHOD: MCGeneral.

A generalised 3D reversed Monte Carlo radiative algorithm, that allows for 2D antenna patterns, surface reflection and arbitrary sensor positions.

The main output variables y and mc_error represent the Stokes vector integrated over the antenna function, and the estimated error in this vector, respectively.

The WSV mc_max_iter describes the maximum number of ‘photons’ used in the simulation (more photons means smaller mc_error). mc_std_err* is the desired value of mc_error. mc_max_time is the maximum allowed number of seconds for MCGeneral. The method will terminate once any of the max_iter, std_err, max_time criteria are met. If negative values are given for these parameters then it is ignored.

The WSV mc_min_iter sets the minimum number of photons to apply before the condition set by mc_std_err is considered. Values of mc_min_iter below 100 are not accepted.

Only "1" and "RJBT" are allowed for iy_unit. The value of mc_error* follows the selection for iy_unit (both for in- and output.

WORKSPACE METHOD: MCRadar.

A radar 3D foward Monte Carlo radiative algorithm, that allows for 2D antenna patterns and arbitrary sensor positions. Surface reflections are currently ignored.

The main output variable y and mc_error represent the radar reflectivity integrated over the antenna function, and the estimated error in this vector, respectively.

Unlike with yActive, the range bins gives the boundaries of the range bins as either round-trip time or distance from radar.

The WSV mc_y_tx gives the polarization state of the transmitter.

The WSV mc_max_scatorder prescribes the maximum scattering order to consider, after which ‘photon’-tracing will be terminated. A value of one calculates only single scattering.

The WSV mc_max_iter describes the maximum number of ‘photons’ used in the simulation (more photons means smaller mc_error). The method will terminate once the max_iter criterium is met. If negative values are given for these parameters then it is ignored.

Only "1" and "Ze" are allowed for iy_unit. The value of mc_error* follows the selection for iy_unit (both for in- and output.
