stokes_rotation
- property Workspace.stokes_rotation
Rotation of the Stokes H and V directions.
This variable allows to introduce a rotation of the Stokes coordinate system. Such a rotation could be needed to handle the scanning procedure of some instruments, such as AMSU-A. The variable is applied by the
sensor_responseStokesRotation()
WSM.The rotation is given as an angle for each direction. In general, the number of rotations to be specified follows
sensor_response_dlos_grid
. In more detail, if no antenna is included or a 1D antenna is used, and the rotation is applied before the antenna is included insensor_response
, there should be one angle for each row ofmblock_dlos
. After inclusion of an antenna response, the relevant number of angles is determined by the rows ofantenna_dlos
.It is assumed that the rotation is common for all frequency elements.
Units: degrees
Size: [ number of directions ]
Usage: Set by the user.
