AtmField
An atmospheric field in ARTS.The atmospheric field defines the altitude of the top-of-the-atmosphere, as well as the variables that are required for the radiative transfer calculations along a path through the atmosphere. The field can be accessed at any altitude, latitude, longitude path that is within the atmosphere to access the relevant atmospheric point data (
atmospheric_point
).Note that constraints on the various field parameters may be imposed by extrapolation limitations on the field parameter itself, causing some or large swaths of the atmosphere to be inaccessible.
The atmospheric field may, but does not have to, consist of the following:
Temperature - Kelvin
Pressure - Pascal
Wind - Meters per second
Magnetic Field - Tesla
