Concise Description
Model of Earth atmosphere absorption and transmission vs. wavelength and location.
Description
LOWTRAN7 atmospheric absorption extinction model. Updated to be platform independent and easily accessible from Python and Matlab. The main LOWTRAN program is accessible from Python by using direct memory transfers instead of the cumbersome and error-prone process of writing/reading text files. xarray.Dataset high-performance, simple N-D array data is passed out, with appropriate metadata. LOWTRAN models Earth atmosphere absorption and transmission vs. wavelength and location, including atmospheric scattering and radiance calculations.
