Getting started

The following document contains examples for how to run pyarts. It is meant as an ever-expanding simple go-to list of well-documented solutions and insight into problems you might run into using Arts/pyarts.

Note that none of the examples are extensive, as they are run continuously during the development of Arts/pyarts to ensure consistent results and experience. Feel free to take these examples and expand them for your personal use-case.

To date it consists of

1. Basics — the basic interfaces of the pyarts package. No real physics, just pure definition of how the workspace and its variables can be set and accessed.

2. Clearsky radiance — shows some examples of how to set up pyarts to run clearsky simulations.

Once you’re familiar with the basics, have a look at the other examples which demonstrate more ARTS features.
