SurfacePropertyTag

class pyarts3.arts.SurfacePropertyTag(*args, **kwargs)

A surface property.

These tags are part of the keys that can be used to access a SurfaceField or SurfacePoint. They are completely free-form and currently not used by ARTS internally. Instead, they offer a customization point for users to define their own surface properties and ensures we can access them in a consistent way.

Please see individual surface models/methods for keys that are relevant to run them. They will generally throw an error if you lack the data.

Methods

readxml(self, file: str) → str

Read variable from file.

Parameters:: file (str) – A file that can be read.
Raises:: RuntimeError – For any failure to read.
Returns:: file – The file path found (may differ from input due to environment variables).
Return type:: str

savexml(self, file: str, type: str = 'ascii', clobber: bool = True) → str

Saves variable to file.

Parameters:

file (str) – The path to which the file is written. Note that several of the options might modify the name or write more files.
type (str, optional) – Type of file to save. See FileType for options. Defaults is “ascii”.
clobber (bool, optional) – Overwrite existing files or add new file with modified name? Defaults is True.

Raises:
