==========================================

.. py:module:: pytmosph3r.atmosphere.atmosphere


Module Contents
---------------

.. py:class:: Atmosphere(name)


   Bases: :py:obj:`pytmosph3r.grid.Grid3D`

   Base class for building atmospheric models.

   .. py:property:: n_latitudes


   .. py:property:: n_longitudes


   .. py:property:: n_vertical


   .. py:attribute:: molar_mass

      Molar mass (in `kg/mol`).

   .. py:attribute:: pressure

      Pressure (in `Pa`).

   .. py:attribute:: max_pressure

      Max (bottom) pressure in the model (in `Pa`). Optional if using an input file.

   .. py:attribute:: min_pressure

      Min (top) pressure in the model (in `Pa`). Optional if using an input file.

   .. py:attribute:: temperature

      Temperature (in `K`).

   .. py:attribute:: gas_mix_ratio

      Volume mixing ratios of each gas.

   .. py:attribute:: aerosols

      Dictionary for aerosols. Each aerosol is itself a dictionary of which each element indicates the
      MMR, the effective radius and the condensate density of the aerosol.

   .. py:attribute:: p_min_aerosols

      For pressures under `p_min_aerosols`, all aerosols MMRs are set to 0.

   .. py:attribute:: recompute_molar_mass
      :value: True

      Recompute molar mass from the gas mix ratios (activated by default) using the method :func:`exo_k.Gas_mix.molar_mass`. If you give Atmosphere() a molar mass, this will be set to False. If you change your mind later, simply set this parameter again to True to recompute it automatically.

   .. py:attribute:: rcp
      :type: float
      :value: 0.28

      Default rcp value to be used in emission mode

   .. py:method:: compute_molar_mass()

      Compute :py:attr:`molar_mass` (`kg/mol`).


   .. py:method:: build(model=None)

      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:: compute_altitude()

      Compute altitude `z`, scaleheight `H` and gravity `g` at coordinates on `grid`.
