Function Documentation

am_plot()

am_plot

(

output_file

)

This function plots the resulting brightness temperatures resulting from am.

Parameters

output_file

The path to the am output file.

config()

config	(		freq_start,
			freq_stop,
			freq_interval,
			T0,
			Z,
			T,
			P,
			pwv,
			filename )

This function creates the configuration file to run am.

Parameters

freq_start	The starting frequency.
freq_stop	The ending frequency.
freq_interval	The frequency interval for am simulation.
T0	The background temperature.
Z	The index for each one of the atmospheric layers.
T	The temperature for each one of the atmospheric layers.
P	The pressure for each one of the atmospheric layers.
pwv	The PWV for each one of the atmospheric layers.
filename	The path for the configuration file.

profiles()

profiles	(		paramsfile,
			T0,
			P0,
			PWV,
			month,
			N )

This function calculates the value of the temperature, pressure and PWV through 30 Km of atmosphere using vertical profiles functions.

Parameters

paramsfile	The path for the parameters file.
T0	The temperature at surface.
P0	The pressure at surface.
PWV	The PWV of the atmosphere column.
month	The month, in order to chose the correct vertical profiles.
N	The number of layers for the atmosphere discretization.
