LookUpCld{D, B, L, I, W} <: AbstractLookUp

Lookup table for cloud optics.

This struct stores the lookup tables for determing extinction coeffient, single-scattering albedo, and asymmetry parameter g as a function of effective radius. We compute the optical depth tau (=exintinction coeff * condensed water path) and the products taussa and taussa*g for liquid and ice cloud separately. These are used to determine the optical properties of ice and water cloud together.

Fields

• dims: nband, nrghice, nsize_liq, nsize_ice, pair

• bounds: particle size lower and upper bounds and factor for LUT interpolation for liquid and ice particles

• liqdata: liquid extinction coefficient, single scattering albedo and symmetry paramter (3*nsize_liq, nbnd)

• icedata: ice extinction coefficient, single scattering albedo and symmetry paramter (3*nsize_ice, nbnd, nrghice)

• bnd_lims_wn: beginning and ending wavenumber for each band (2, nband) cm⁻¹

LookUpAerosolMerra{D, D1, D2, D3, D4, W} <: AbstractLookUp

This struct stores the lookup tables for determing extinction coeffient, single-scattering albedo, and asymmetry parameter g as a function of aerosol particle size, relative humidity and band. Data is provided for dust, sea salt, sulfate, black carbon (hydrophobic and hydrophilic) and organic carbon (hydrophobic and hydrophilic).

Fields

• dims: nband, nval, nbin, nrh, pair

• size_bin_limits: beginning and ending limit for each MERRA aerosol size bin (microns)
