ppath_agenda

property Workspace.ppath_agenda

Calculation of complete propagation paths.

In contrast to ppath_step_agenda that controls the ray tracing inside each grid box, this agenda determines how complete paths are determined. The standard choice is to do this in a step-by-step manner using ppath_step_agenda, with this agenda set to call ppathStepByStep().

The WSV rte_los is both input and output as in some cases it is determined as part of the propagation path calculations (such as radio link calculations).

Parameters:

• ppath (Ppath) – The propagation path for one line-of-sight. See ppath [OUT]

• ppath_lmax (Numeric) – Maximum length between points describing propagation paths. See ppath_lmax [IN]

• ppath_lraytrace (Numeric) – Maximum length of ray tracing steps when determining propagation. See ppath_lraytrace [IN]

• rte_pos (Vector) – A geographical position for starting radiative transfer calculations. See rte_pos [IN]

• rte_los (Vector) – A line-of-sight for (complete) radiative transfer calculations. See rte_los [IN]

• rte_pos2 (Vector) – A second geographical position to define the geometry for. See rte_pos2 [IN]

• cloudbox_on (Index) – Flag to activate the cloud box. See cloudbox_on [IN]

• ppath_inside_cloudbox_do (Index) – Flag to perform ray tracing inside the cloudbox. See ppath_inside_cloudbox_do [IN]

• f_grid (Vector) – The frequency grid for monochromatic pencil beam calculations. See f_grid [IN]
