Data Description Units
HGT(:) Height profile km
PRE(:) Pressure profile hPa
rtv(:) Retrieved species profile(s) [various]

Notes
  1. The same species profiles are written as in the .rtv output except that here the profiles extend for full atmosphere used in internal forward model (so included fixed as well as retrieved profile levels), and no SD profiles or diagnostic information (such as information content) are included.

  2. The .orb files can be used for passing the output of one retrieval as input to another, input via the *ATM section of the driver table.
