`exo_k.adatabase`¶

@author: jeremy leconte

Module containing a class to handle a database of CIA tables to compute opacities with it.

Module Contents¶

class Adatabase(*str_filters, filenames=None, remove_zeros=False, **kwargs)[source]¶

Bases: exo_k.util.spectral_object.Spectral_object

Class to group Atable objects and combine them in radiative transfer

Initializes aerosol tables and supporting data from a list of filenames.

Parameters: filenames (list) – List of names (not full path) of the input cia files. The files must be in the global search path.

A local search path can be specified with ‘search_path=’

See the options of Atable __init__ method.

add_atables(self, *atables)[source]¶

Adds new Atable objects to a Adatabase.

Parameters: atables (Atable) – As many Atables as you want.

property names(self)¶: Gives the names of the aerosols in the database

copy(self)[source]¶: Creates a new instance of CIAdatabase object and (deep) copies data into it

sample(self, wngrid, remove_zeros=True, use_grid_filter=True, sample_all_vars=False)[source]¶

Samples all the Atables in the database on the same wavenumber grid to be able to use them in radiative transfer modules.

Important

For this method, the default options are remove_zeros=True and use_grid_filter=True. This ensures that you do not count several contributinns twice when you use two different aerosol tables to represent the same aerosol type over two different spectral window (typically VI and IR)

Parameters: wngrid (array) – new wavenumber grid (cm-1)
