Workspace Method HydrotableCalc
Description
Creates a look-up table of scattering properties. The table produced largely follows the format used in RTTOV-SCATT for its "hydrotables". The table is returned as a GriddedField4, with dimensions (in order): Scattering property Frequency (equals WSV f_grid) Temperature (equals GIN T_grid) Particle content [kg/m3] (equals GIN wc_grid) Four scattering properties are calculated. They are (in order) Extinction [m-1] Single scattering albedo [-] Asymmetry parameter [-] Radar reflectivity [m2]
