[Pressure]

The header describes pressure profiles for the atmosphere. Currently only one type of profile is supported, so profile_type=simple or profile_type=hydrostatic must be included. profile_type = custom is also valid, See Custom Types

Keywords

Variable	Type	Description	Default
atm_min_pressure	float	Pressure in Pa at TOA	1e0
atm_max_pressure	float	Pressure in Pa at BOA	1e6

Fitting Parameters

Warning

Whilst included of completeness it is generally not a good idea to fit these parameters as it can drastically alter the scale of the atmosphere.

Examples

A basic pressure profile:

profile_type = simple
atm_min_pressure = 1e-3
atm_max_pressure = 1e6
nlayers = 100
