                        - are in single-panel binary format (like TAPE10)

 

      Users desiring to use the new Analytical Jacobian capability of LBLRTM are strongly urged to run the scripts

      provided for that purpose.  The scripts provide a good mechanism to understand the utilization of LBLRTM

      for Analytic Jacobians and to compare the results with symmetric finite difference calculations.

RECORD RECORD 1.1

 

 

      CXID:  80 characters of user identification  (80A1)

 

            CXID(1) is the flag which determines program initialization and termination.  The actual input data

                    stream for LBLRTM commences with the record containing a '$' in CXID(1).  Any record that are

                    read prior to a record containing a '$' in CXID(1) are ignored.  Since LBLRTM automatically

                    recycles and reads Record 1.1 at the end of each run (this allows the stacking of multiple

                    runs), each subsequent run of LBLRTM must also have a '$' in CXID(1) on Record 1.1.  In order

                    to effect a normal termination of LBLRTM, CXID(1) must be set to '%', on the final record of

                    the input file.  Thus a standard LBLRTM input file would begin with a '$' and end with a '%'.

                    Records on the input file following the record with CXID(1) = '%' are ignored by LBLRTM.

 

                    Note:  LBLRTM will internally set CXID(1) = ' ' for all output.

RECORD RECORD 1.2 (Continued)

 

 

         The actual results produced on MFILE or NFILE are determined by both IEMIT on Record 1.2 and JEMIT on either

         Record 6 (scanned results) or Record 7.1 (filtered results).  The following table describes the options:

 

 

                                                                 RESULTS PRODUCED ON MFILE OR NFILE

                                                             ------------------------------------------

 

                                    TYPE OF RESULT                IEMIT=0                  IEMIT=1

                                  monochromatic                optical depths         transmittance & radiance

                                  filtered (JEMIT=0)           transmittance          transmittance

                                  filtered (JEMIT=1)                n/a               radiance

 

 

 

                 In the context of LBLRTM calculations, weighting functions are readily obtained from the

                              NFILE sequential transmittances by "subtracting" adjacent files (dT or dR), and

                              employing the stored layer boundary definitions for P or z, i.e. (dlnP or dz).

                              ( Use Option IOPT = 2 in PLTLBL for subtraction of LBLRTM files )

 

                 For the filter option (IMRG.ge.23 .and. IMRG.le.28), the results, including the differences

                              of the total transmittances or radiances, are also printed on unit IPR (TAPE6)

 

                 For the flux computations (IMRG.eq.35 .or. IMRG.eq.36), the results are merged from the top of

                              the atmosphere down for IMRG.eq.35 to provide the downward radiance at each level,

                              and from the ground up for IMRG.eq.36 to provide upward radiance at each level.

 

                 "SEQUENTIAL" is defined at the total optical depth, transmittance, or radiance from H1 to

                              each layer boundary (Ln), always beginning at H1:

 

                                   H1    L1   L2   L3

    NOTES:

 

      1.  for machines with 32 bit words the following variables may have been set to double precision:

 

                                  XID(10),SEC,HMOL(64),V1V,V2V,YID(10)

                                  V1P,V2P

 

 

      2.  fftscn.f has parameters that are hardware dependent.  Before compiling, check to make sure

           the appropriate statements are uncommented.

 

 

      3.  the placement of the decimal point in the input supercedes that of a given format.

 

 

      4.  if WKL(M,L) or XAMNT(I,L) is greater than one, then column density is assumed for that value

           of M or I and L; if either is less than one, then mixing ratio is assumed for that value of M

           or I and L.  This allows for combining density and mixing ratio information in the input.

 

 

      5.  the character '%' signals the end of TAPE5 and terminates LBLRTM.

If the NLTE (IHIRAC = 4) option is selected a separate file (TAPE4) must be created.

The following instructions describe the contents of a TAPE4 file.

 

Note : TAPE4 permits selection of vibrational states; only the states listed in Table IV

are allowed at present, with up to 9 isotopologues for each state.
