rotmat_enu()

void rotmat_enu	(	MatrixView	R_ant2enu,
		ConstVectorView	prop_los
	)

rotmat_enu.

Calculates rotation matrix from antenna frame to ENU frame. The columns of the rotation matrix are the v, h, and k components of the propagating wave in the ENU frame.

Parameters

[out]	R_ant2enu	rotation matrix from antenna frame to ENU frame.
[in]	prop_los	los (zenith and azimuth).

rotmat_stokes()

void rotmat_stokes	(	MatrixView	R_pra,
		const Index &	stokes_dim,
		const Numeric &	f1_dir,
		const Numeric &	f2_dir,
		ConstMatrixView	R_f1,
		ConstMatrixView	R_f2
	)

rotmat_stokes.

Calculates the PRA matrix for the stokes vector to account for polarization rotation from ENU frame to antenna frame. Designed to handle sign properly for radiometer and radar (both tx and rx) using the bs_dir argument which (1 = away from sensor, -1 = into sensor), based on Mishchenko's convention for third Stokes. The assumption is that the polarization basis vectors have magnitude of one; therefore, a check is not made for the purpose of computational efficiency.

Parameters

[out]	R_pra	rotation matrix.
[in]	stokes_dim	number of stokes vector elements to consider.
[in]	f1_dir	propagation direction of polarization basis 1 (-1.0 or 1.0).
[in]	f2_dir	propgation direction of polarization basis 2 (-1.0 or 1.0).
[in]	R_f1	rotation matrix (into ENU) for basis f1.
[in]	R_f2	photon rotation (into ENU) for basis f2.
