sasktran2.constituent.SolarIrradiance

class sasktran2.constituent.SolarIrradiance(photon_units: bool = False, **kwargs)

Bases: Constituent

A constituent that calculates the solar irradiance at TOA using a reference solar irradiance spectrum.

Parameters:

photon_units (bool) – If True, the solar irradiance will be given in photon units (photons / m^2 / s / nm). If False, the solar irradiance will be given in energy units (W / m^2 / nm).

__init__(photon_units: bool = False, **kwargs) → None

A constituent that calculates the solar irradiance at TOA using a reference solar irradiance spectrum.

Parameters:

photon_units (bool) – If True, the solar irradiance will be given in photon units (photons / m^2 / s / nm). If False, the solar irradiance will be given in energy units (W / m^2 / nm).
