y
- property Workspace.y
The measurement vector.
This vector holds radiances averaged in frequency and spatially, and can contain many spectra appended. That is, this WSV matches directly the y-vector in the formalism by C.D. Rodgers.
The polarisation, frequency, position and line-of-sight associated with each element in
y
are given byy_pol
,y_f
,y_pos
andy_los
. For monochromatic pencil beam radiances, data are sorted in the following way, from the innermost to the outermost loopStokes

With sensor response included, the order can be differ. As output of
yRadar()
, the order will also be different.Usage: Output from radiative transfer calculations considering sensor response.
Unit: Undefined. Possibilities include: K, W/(m^2 Hz sr) and optical thickness.
