EaR³T (pronounced /ɜːt/) is a Python software package developed for cutting-edge radiative transfer and remote sensing applications. It provides high-level interfaces to automate the process of performing IPA/3D radiative transfer calculations for measured or modeled cloud/aerosol fields using publicly available IPA/3D radiative transfer models including MCARaTS, libRadtran (IPA only), and SHDOM (under development).

Applications

  • Spaceborne and airborne remote sensing;
  • 3D radiative effects (of clouds, aerosols, and trace gases etc.);
  • Synthetic data generation (for CNN training);
  • Novel retrieval algorithm development (e.g., CNN-based).
