Overview¶
TauREx 3 follows a simply philosophy:
I don’t care how you do it, just give it to me!
A relevant analogy: We don’t really care how a temperature profile is computed, just as long as when we ask for one it gives it to us.
TauREx 3 follow heavily the OOP design to achieve this. Almost everything is split into building blocks that can be mixed and match and combined to form a full atmospheric model and retrieval. Each of these building blocks are a set of interfaces or guarantees that allow to each part to work together.
These come in the form of abstract or skeleton classes that can be taken and filled out to form a new block in the TauREx 3 architecture.
