covmat_soCalc

Workspace.covmat_soCalc(self: pyarts.arts._Workspace, covmat_so: pyarts.arts.WorkspaceVariable | pyarts.arts.Matrix | None = self.covmat_so, dxdy: pyarts.arts.WorkspaceVariable | pyarts.arts.Matrix | None = self.dxdy, covmat_se: pyarts.arts.WorkspaceVariable | pyarts.arts.CovarianceMatrix | None = self.covmat_se, verbosity: pyarts.arts.WorkspaceVariable | pyarts.arts.Verbosity | None = self.verbosity) → None

Calculates the covariance matrix describing the error due to uncertainties in the observation system.

The uncertainties of the observation system are described by covmat_se, which must be set by the user to include the relevant contributions from the measurement and the forward model.

Prerequisite for the calculation of covmat_so is a successful OEM computation where also the gain matrix has been computed.
