LOWTRAN atmospheric absorption extinction, scatter and irradiance model--in Python and Matlab

Primary LanguagePythonMIT LicenseMIT

[INDEV] Lowtran in Python

Fork of LOWTRAN7 atmospheric absorption extinction model python bindings to add aerosol, haze and similar bindings.

Please do not currently use unless you're 100% sure what you're doing. I haven't yet made any documentation for this but plan to in the future (Dated 11 Nov 2021)1.

Notes

LOWTRAN7 User manual Refer to this to understand what parameters are set to default. Currently I don't have any aerosols enabled for example, though it's possible to add them into the code.

Right now a lot of configuration features aren't implemented, please request those you want.

Reference

  • Original 1994 Lowtran7 Code
  • LOWFIL program in reference/lowtran7.10.f was not connected as we had previously implemented a filter function directly in Python.
  • LOWSCAN spectral sampling (scanning) program in reference/lowtran7.13.f was not connected as we had no need for coarser spectral resolution.
