RFM Examples | 13JUL23 |
*FLG section specifies the ZEN flag for an upward path through a plane parallel atmosphere, and the TRA flag to output the transmittance spectrum.
The *GAS section specifies that H2O, O3, N2O and F12 (CFC-12) are to be included, while the *(12) adds any other gases that might be significant in this spectral range (from rfm.log it can be seen that it chooses to add CH4, F22 (HCFC-22), F11 (CFC-11) and CO2). Although N2O is included because it was explicitly specified by the user, the RFM wouldn't have added it itself.
Since this is a plane parallel atmosphere calculation, the path is specified by the *SEC section marker (although *TAN could still be used) and contains the secant of the slant angle. Here, the value 1.0 defines a vertical path (1.0 = 1/cos(0°))
