GATIAB

GATIAB (Gasous Absorption Transmissions at Instrument Averaged Bands).
This module provides gaseous transmissions base on CKDMIP idealized Look-Up tables and sensor spectral response functions.

CKDMIP data

The CKDMIP (the Correlated K-Distribution Model Intercomparison Project) Idealized Look-Up tables are necessary to use the gatiab module. See: Hogan et al. -> https://gmd.copernicus.org/articles/13/6501/2020/

The CKDMIP documentation and data are available here: https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKDMIP

AFGL atmophere LUTs

The gatiab module needs afgl atmosphere profils. Those atmophere look-up tables can be dowloaded from SMART-G (Speed-up Monte Carlo Advanced Radiative Transfer Code using GPU) -> https://github.com/hygeos/smartg

The SMART-G makefile can be used:

$ make auxdata_atm

Installation

The module can be installed using one the following commands:

$ conda install -c conda-forge gatiab

$ pip install gatiab

$ pip install git+https://github.com/hygeos/gatiab.git

Testing

Example of pytest.ini file:

[pytest]
addopts=
    --dir-ckdmip="/path/to/ckdmip/dir/"
    --dir-atm="path/to/atm/dir/"
    -s -v

Run the command pytest tests/ to check that everything is running correctly.

Exemples

from gatiab import ckdmip2od, Gatiab
import xarray as xr
import glob

# Specify the ckdmip and atmophere directory paths
dir_ckdmip = "path/to/ckdmip/dir/" 
dir_atm = "path/to/atm/dir/"

# First create optical depth LUTs of a given atmosphere
# wavenumber units -> cm-1
ds = ckdmip2od(gas='O3', dir_ckdmip=dir_ckdmip, dir_atm=dir_atm, atm='afglus',
               wvn_min = 4000., wvn_max=26000., save=True)

# Second we need the instrument spectral response
# Here we use the LUTs we have created for testing of Sentinel 3A OLCI
# Other SRF intruments -> https://nwp-saf.eumetsat.int/site/software/rttov/download/coefficients/spectral-response-functions/
rsrf_files = sorted(glob.glob("./tests/S3A_OLCI_rsrf/*.nc"))
nbands = len(rsrf_files)
rsrf = [] # iband list with relative spectral response as function of wavelength
srf_wvl = [] # iband list with wavelength in nanometer
for i in range (0, nbands):
    with xr.open_dataset(rsrf_files[i]) as ds:
        rsrf.append(ds['rsrf'].values)
        srf_wvl.append(ds['wvl'].values)

# Third compute the gas transmission as function of gas content, airmass, ground pressure and wavelength
gt = Gatiab(ds)
gt.print_gas_content() # print the standard afgl total column content of O3

gas_content = np.array([250., 300., 350.]) # in DU
air_mass = np.array([3., 4., 5.])
p0 = gt.od['P_hl'][-2:].data*1e-2 # ground pressure in hectopascal
ds_gt = gt.calc(gas_content, air_mass, p0, srf_wvl, rsrf)
print(ds_gt)
