sasktran2.optical.database.OpticalDatabaseGenericScatterer

class sasktran2.optical.database.OpticalDatabaseGenericScatterer(db_filepath: Path)

Bases: OpticalDatabase

A purely scattering optical property defined by a database file. The database must contain the following

• xs_total : The total cross section in [m^2]

• xs_scattering : The scattering cross section in [m^2]

• lm_a1 : the legendre coefficients for the phase function

All variables must be a function of either wavelength_nm or wavenumber_cminv, and optionally any other dimension such as particle size.

Parameters:

db_filepath (Path) – Path to the database file

__init__(db_filepath: Path) → None
