RTE-Fortran

These pages provide a programmer's view of the Fortran user interface to RTE.

Procedures in the two solvers (rte_lw, rte_sw) require problems specified as sets of optical properties along with boundary conditions and/or internal sources of radiation. The reduction of spectrally- and spatially-detailed calculations that specifies the output is defined in a flux output type

The optical properties module provides a way to specify the spectrally-dependent optical properties of the atmosphere consistent with calculations neglecting scattering, using two-stream scattering, or using n-stream scattering.

• init() routines to specify e.g. the spectral discretization
• load() routines to provide data (e.g. lookup tables) needed to do a calculation
• alloc() routines to allocate memory once the problem size is known
• finalize() routines to reset variables to an un-initialized state
• Some classes have get_ncol() and get_nlay() methods to report the problem size
• Some classes have get_subset() methods to extract values along the column dimension
