Extracts a sun spectrum from a field of such data.

The method allows to obtain the sun spectrum by interpolation from a field of such data. The sun spectrum is expected to be stored as the irradiance at the suns photosphere.

Unit:

  • GriddedField2: [W m-2 Hz-1]

  • Vector frequency_grid [Hz]

  • Vector stokes_dim [1]

Dimensions: [frequency_grid, stokes_dim]

This method performs an interpolation onto the frequency_grid. The point of frequency_grid that are outside the data frequency grid are initialized according to planck’s law of the temperature variable. Hence, a temperature of 0 means 0s the edges of the frequency_grid.
