Short-forms for naming workspace variables
This is a mostly auto-generated list of short-forms for naming workspace variables in ARTS.
All variables in ARTS use short-hand names to identify them and simplify writing and using them. The keys to read these short-hand names are listed below.
All complete short-hand names are separated by an underscore (_), or
equals the name itself.
Coordinates
alt
Altitude
freq
Frequency
lat
Latitude [-90, 90].
lon
Longitude [-180, 180) circular.
zen
Zenith angle [0, 180].
Gridded
field
Contiguous values defined along one or more dimensions. May be ungridded.
grid
Sorted one-dimensional grids.
path
Paths contain values sampled along a trajectory through the atmosphere. Unlike profiles, paths are possibly not aligned with any grid.
point
Values are extracted at a single coordinate in a field.
profile
Profiles are cuts through a field along a single dimension, e.g., the altitude.
single
Contains a single value extracted from a frequency grid.
spectral
Defined over a frequency grid.

abs
Absorption processes
absvec
The absorption vector
atm
The atmosphere
bkg
Background
cia
Collision-induced absorption
covmat
Covariance matrices
disort
Discrete ordinate radiative transfer
ecs
Error-corrected sudden
jac
The Jacobian matrix
los
Line-of-sight
nlte
Non-local thermodynamic equilibrium
obs

Scattering
srcvec
The source vector
subsurf
The subsurface
surf
The surface
tramat
The transmittance matrix
xfit
Cross-section fitting
Storage form
mat
As a matrix.
vec
As a vector.
