.. py:class:: Tracers(settings, tracers=None, tracer_values=None, Dmol=0.0, bg_vmr=None, M_bg=None, Nlay=None, **kwargs)

   Bases: :py:obj:`object`


   
   Class that deals with tracers.

   Fills out the tracers.qarray and creates tracer_names, a table of correspondence
   between tracer names and indices in tracers.qarray.

   .. py:method:: update_gas_composition(update_vmr=True)

      Performs mass to volume mixing ratio conversion,
      computes the new molar mass of the total gas
      and transmits new composition to the radiative model.

      !!!Small discrepancies with case without tracers!!!
      Maybe a problem with the background gas. JL22 => is this still true ?

      :param atm: If atm is provided, its composition will be
                  updated with the new composition.
      :type atm: :class:`exo_k.Atm object`



   .. py:method:: update_aerosol_properties(atm)


   .. py:method:: dry_convective_adjustment(timestep, Htot, atm, verbose=False)

      Computes convective adjustement.

      :param timestep: physical timestep of the current step (in s/cp).
                       (needs to be converted before it is sent to `turbulent diffusion)
      :type timestep: :class:`float`
      :param Htot: Total heating rate (in W/kg) of all physical processes
                   already computed
      :type Htot: :class:`array`, :class:`np.ndarray`
      :param atm: The Atm object used in the radiative transfer which
                  contains many state variables.
      :type atm: :class:`Atm` object



   .. py:method:: update_surface_reservoir(condensing_pairs_idx=False, surf_layer_mass=0.0)

      Update surface reservoirs of tracers.

      E.g. deals with removing excess condensates from the first layer or
      putting more when everything as been evaporated.



   .. py:method:: interpolate_tracers_profile(new_logplay, old_logplay)

      Re interpolates tracers on a new pressure grid

      Parameers
      ---------
          new_logplay: array
              new pressure grid
          old_logplay: array
              Old pressure grid
