atm_fieldInitializeNonLTE

Workspace.atm_fieldInitializeNonLTE(self, atm_field: pyarts3.arts.AtmField | None = None, abs_bands: pyarts3.arts.AbsorptionBands | None = None, normalization: pyarts3.arts.Numeric | None = None) None

Initialize the non-LTE atmospheric field from the LTE temperature field.

Note that the bands have to be 1-line long to work.

This is because of how non-LTE is implemented in ARTS.

Parameters:
  • atm_field (AtmField, optional) – An atmospheric field in ARTS. See atm_field, defaults to self.atm_field [INOUT]

  • abs_bands (AbsorptionBands, optional) – Bands of absorption lines for line-by-line (LBL) calculations. See abs_bands, defaults to self.abs_bands [IN]

  • normalization (Numeric, optional) – Normalization factor for the non-LTE field - all species of same isotopologue will be summed to this value (non-positive means no normalization). Defaults to 0 [IN]
