sensor_pos

property Workspace.sensor_pos

The sensor position for each measurement block.

The sensor positions are specified as a matrix, where the number of columns shall be equal to atmosphere_dim. Column 1 shall contain the altitude of the sensor platform, column 2 the latitude and the last column the longitude. The number of rows corresponds to the number of measurement blocks.

Valid range for latitudes in 3D is [-90,90], while for 2D any value is accepted. Accepted range for longitudes are [-360,360].

See further the ARTS user guide (AUG). Use the index to find where this variable is discussed. The variable is listed as a subentry to “workspace variables”.

Usage: Set by the user.

Unit: [ m, degrees, degrees ]

Size: [ number of measurement blocks, atmosphere_dim ]
