plot_arts_lookup

pyarts.plots.plot_arts_lookup(lookup, opacity=True, z=None, g=9.80665, r=287.0570048852906, tpert=0, vmrpert=0, pressures=None, cols=3, species=None)[source]

Visualize an ARTS lookup table.

Plots the opacity or the absorption cross sections based on an ARTS lookup table.

Parameters:
  • lookup (pyarts.arts.GasAbsLookup) – ARTS lookup table object.

  • opacity (bool, optional) – Set to False to plot the absorption cross sections.

  • z (ndarray, optional) – Altitude profile. Optional input for opacity calculation. If not given, the layer thicknesses are calculated based on the hypsometric formula.

  • g (float, optional) – Gravity constant. Uses Earth’s gravity by default.

  • r (float, optional) – Gas constant for dry air. Uses constant for Earth by default.

  • tpert (int, optional) – Index of temperature perturbation to plot.

  • vmrpert (int, optional) – Index of vmr perturbation for nonlinear species to plot.

  • pressures (ndarray(int), optional) – Pressure levels to plot. If not given, up to 6 pressure levels are selected.

  • cols (int, optional) – Species to plot per row.

Returns:

Matplotlib Figure and Axes objects.

Return type:

matplotlib.figure.Figure, ndarray(AxesSubplot)

Examples:

from os.path import join, dirname
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pyarts

lookup_file = join(dirname(pyarts.__file__), '../test/plots/reference',
                   'abs_lookup_small.xml')
fig, ax = pyarts.plots.plot_arts_lookup(pyarts.xml.load(lookup_file))

fig.suptitle('Lookup table opacities')
fig.subplots_adjust(top=0.88)
plt.show()
