y

property Workspace.y

The measurement vector.

This vector holds radiances averaged in frequency and spatially, and can contain many spectra appended. That is, this WSV matches directly the y-vector in the formalism by C.D. Rodgers.

The polarisation, frequency, position and line-of-sight associated with each element in y are given by y_pol, y_f, y_pos and y_los. For monochromatic pencil beam radiances, data are sorted in the following way, from the innermost to the outermost loop

• Stokes

• Frequency

• LOS inside the measurement block

• Measurement block

With sensor response included, the order can be differ. As output of yRadar(), the order will also be different.

Usage: Output from radiative transfer calculations considering sensor response.

Unit: Undefined. Possibilities include: K, W/(m^2 Hz sr) and optical thickness.
