Introduction of Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Simulator Software

Abstract

Abstract:

With the development of the research on climatic variation, environmental monitoring, remote sensing and other fields, the importance of atmospheric radiation transmission has become increasingly prominent. Radiative transfer simulation, atmospheric transmissivity and spectral radiance calculation, and the inversion of the meteorological elements are necessary. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a fast, accurate and widely used radiative transfer model. A highly modular and widely used radiative transfer simulation software -- the atmospheric radiative transfer simulator (ARTS) is presented, including the research background, the main function of the software, the calculation process, the application fields, and some simulation examples. At present, the forward simulation model and inversion model of the radiative transfer simulator has been successfully applied to the Odin/SMR, MASTER and SOPRANO detectors.

Key words: radiative transfer, attenuation, spectral radiance, inversion
