.. py:class:: AltitudeAtmosphere(model=None, n_vertical=100, n_latitudes=49, n_longitudes=64)


   Bases: :py:obj:`pytmosph3r.atmosphere.atmosphere.Atmosphere`

   Atmospheric model with a (altitude, latitude, longitude) coordinate system. The attributes of this
   class are the same as :class:`~pytmosph3r.atmosphere.input_atmosphere.InputAtmosphere`, except that
   they have been interpolated in a spherical grid.

   .. py:property:: n_layers
      :type: int

      Number of layers in the model.

   .. py:property:: n_levels
      :type: int

      Number of levels in the model (equal to :py:attr:`n_layers` `+1`).

   .. py:attribute:: max_altitude

      Max altitude in the model, calculated based on :py:attr:`~pytmosph3r.model.Model.min_pressure`.

   .. py:attribute:: altitude_levels

      Altitudes of each level (separating each layer). :obj:`Array` of length :py:attr:`n_levels`.

   .. py:attribute:: altitude

      Altitudes in the middle of each layer.  :obj:`Array` of length :py:attr:`n_layers`.

   .. py:attribute:: aerosols

      Aerosols for each point of the altitude grid, interpolated from
      :attr:`pytmosph3r.atmosphere.InputAtmosphere.aerosols` (each aerosol is a dictionary with keys {'mmr', 'reff',
      'condensate_density'}).

   .. py:method:: build()

      Ensure that all data has been computed and formatted in arrays of the same shape.
      Handle different configurations of pressure, temperature and chemistry.


   .. py:method:: index_altitude(altitude)

      Gives the index of the layer containing an `altitude` (given in `m`).


   .. py:method:: generate_altitude_grid()

      Build an atmospheric grid based on the highest altitude of the level-based atmospheric grid,
      discretized into :py:attr:`n_vertical` points.


   .. py:method:: interpolate_from_input()

      Interpolate pressure, temperature and gas mix ratios from levels to the new coordinate system.



   .. py:method:: altitude_interp(lat, lon, dest, origin, interp='log')

      Interpolation of the values of :py:attr:`dest` based on the information of :py:attr:`origin`,
      associated with the altitude of the :class:`~pytmosph3r.atmosphere.InputAtmosphere`.
      This function operates on the (vertical) column at the location given by (:py:attr:`lat`,
      :py:attr:`lon`) in the atmosphere.
      The interpolation uses the altitude of the altitude grid as the input variables.

      :param lat: Latitude index
      :type lat: int
      :param lon: Longitude index
      :type lon: int
      :param dest: Destination array to interpolate into
      :type dest: :obj:`array`
      :param origin: Origin array to interpolate from
      :type origin: :obj:`array`
      :param interp: 'linear', 'log', ...
      :type interp: str


   .. py:method:: compute_pressure()

      Re-compute the pressure lower than min_pressure, using the hydrostatic equilibrium equation.
