Re. Your first issue, I’ve been using the qpack2_wind3d_demo which already has multiple viewing angles – you could probably modify it for your purposes, or it would at least be a good reference. It appears it appends each spectrum on to the end of the Y vector, rather than creating a new column, hence avoiding the tensor1 issue.
From: MARTINET Pauline [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 09 September 2014 10:30 To: [email protected] Subject: [Qpack] retrieval of humidity profiles with qpack and multi viewing angles Dear all, I have some issues to run humidity profile retrievals with qpack and also to run the retrieval with different viewing angle. I am using the observations from a ground based microwave radiometer with 7 channels and 8 viewing angles. I) Problem with different viewing angles Fistly, I managed to retrieve temperature profiles with qpack but only with one viewing angle. I use a matlab program similar to the qpack_demo.m file. So I modify the q_demo routine to include a second angle in Q.MBLOCK_ZA_GRID ( for example Q.MBLOCK_ZA_GRID= [0 48] instead of 0). I also create the structure Y with a function similar to the y_demo function in the qpack_demo.m file. After creating the Y structure, I copy the brightness temperature observed by the instrument in the Y(1).Y field: Y(1).Y=TB_mesure but this time the size of the array TB_mesure is : 2 * 7 instead of 1* 7 (so 2 angles and 7 channels). When I add this line, I have the error message: Error using rqre_datatype (line 68) Y(1).Y must be tensor1. Error in qpack2>checkY (line 154) rqre_datatype( Y(1).Y, @istensor1, 'Y(1).Y' ); Error in qpack2 (line 52) empty_y = checkY( Y ); I assume this comes from the fact that there are two dimensions instead of 1 due to the addition of the new viewing angle. Does anyone know how we can run a retrieval with multiple viewing angles ? By the way, does the variable Y.ZA refers to the wiewing angles like Q.MBLOCK_ZA_GRID ? (I tried to modifiy this variable to include the second angle also.) II) Problem with the humidity retrieval In my ARTS simulations, I use a humidity profile directly read from a background profile (thus it is not a profile given with the atmlab package). When I declare the water vapor species in the q_demo file: Q.ABS_SPECIES(2).TAG = {'H2O-PWR98'}; Q.ABS_SPECIES(2).RETRIEVE = false; If Q.ABS_SPECIES(2).RETRIEVE is false, I have no problem during the computation of the temperature retrieval (even if I use my own humidity profile for the simulation of the brightness temperature). Then, when I try to retrieve the humidity profile in addition to the temperature profile, I changed the Q.ABS_SPECIES(2).RETRIEVE variable to true, and I have the following error: Run-time error in controlfile: /tmp/atmlab-martinet-tp9a5f653c_5510_4107_adc5_2463807d555b/cfile_y.arts Run-time error in method: atmfields_checkedCalc All values in *vmr_field* must be >= 0. Stopping ARTS execution. Goodbye. However, I checked the vmr_field of the Q.ABS_SPECIES(2).ATMDATA.GRID and all the values look higher than 0 (see attached file) and I already used this humidity profile even if I did not retrieve the humidity without no problem in ARTS. Thus, I don't really understand why I have this error. Does anyone have on idea ? Thank you very much for your help.
