xaStandard

Standard function for creating xa.

The method creates xa based on jacobian_quantities and the various atmospheric fields. In the case of scattering species, the data are taken from particle_bulkprop_field. The following retrieval quantities are handled:

Temperature

Absorption species

Scattering species

Pointing

Polynomial baseline fit

Sinusoidal baseline fit
