nlte_field

property Workspace.nlte_field

The field of NLTE temperatures and/or ratios.

This variable gives the NLTE temperature/ratio at each crossing of the pressure, latitude and longitude grids. The size of the array is the number of NLTE levels in all molecules.

The temperature/ratio for a point between the grid crossings is obtained by (multi-)linear interpolation of the nlte_field.

There are two types of NLTE computations available in ARTS. One from giving excitiation temperatures that makes the absorption/emission diverge from LTE. The other is to use the absolute ratios of upper-to-lower states at the levels of interest.

Units: [ K or % ]]

Dimensions: [ NLTE levels, p_grid, lat_grid, lon_grid ] or [ 0, 0, 0, 0 ]

Default value

None
