Hi Patrick, Thanks for the information on the scattering jacobians.
Are the clear sky jacobians fully functional in ARTSv2.5? Meaning, are they only to be used with nadir and zenith viewing geometries? or can they be used even for horizon viewing geometries when the sensor is inside the atmosphere?

So we keep this so far a bit on the side. In short, the only method that can produce Jacobians with scattering is iyHybrid (that totally lacks documentation). This one only works in 1D (as it using DISORT or RT4 in the background). In addition, the Jacobian is approximative. It works both inside and outside of cloudbox. Further, there have been some changes to the code and the exact status of the method in v2.5 is a bit unclear. We will likely use it soon and will then make some checks. Sorry, but this is the status ...
