rte_los

property Workspace.rte_los

A line-of-sight for (complete) radiative transfer calculations.

This variable gives the observation direction for monochromatic pencil beam calculations. Hence, it is the line-of-sight at the end point of the propagation path.

For 1D and 2D cases, rte_los is a vector of length 1 holding the zenith angle. For 3D, the length of the vector is 2, where the additional element is the azimuthal angle. These angles are defined in the ARTS user guide (AUG). Look in the index for “zenith angle” and “azimuthal angle”.

Usage: See above.

Units: [ degree, degree ]

Size: [ 1 or 2 ]
