Dear all, 

I tried to use the Qpack1 option 3 for retrieval of continuum absorption: 

Q.CONTABS_DO           = 3;   
Q.CONTABS_ORDER        = 1;
Q.CONTABS_LIMITS       = [-1 -1];

Q.CONTABS_COVMAT       = 'sx.continua.aa';
Q.CONTABS_KGRID        = 'grid_strato.aa' ;

Q.CONTABS_REF_SPECIES  = [ '"O2-MPM93", "H2O-MPM93", "N2-SelfContMPM93"' ];


I selected Q.CONTABS_KGRID same as Q.SPECIES_KGRIDS. Is this okay? 

While the Sx matrix looks fine for contabs_do=2 , Sx is totally wrong for 
option 3 (leading later to a dimension-error in qpcls). 

I guess, the problem is that I don't know how Q.CONTABS_COVMAT is defined.  
Is it pressure in the first column, error of O2 in the second column , error of 
H2O-MPM3 in the third column and so on? 


sx.continua.aa  from above looks at the moment :

2
2 1
0
0
2 3
6 1 0
-4 1 0

 
Thank you and kind regards,
Klemens
