Hi everybody, 

I have noticed differences between the forward model calculations when I call 
Qpack or the function arts_y. 
I am simulating a microwave radiometer between 22 and 60 GHz. 
I have a matlab routine where I define the structures Q and O. 
Then I call the two functions: 
TB=arts_y(Q); 
and L2=qpack2(Q,O,Y); 
with Y.Y=[] : from what I read in the Qpack documentation it should give the 
same results. 

But then I do not obtain the same values of brightness temperatures when 
simulating the brightness temperature with Qpack or arts_y: 

This is from Qpack: 

37.6242 
36.7163 
32.3708 
24.4462 
22.0529 
19.4580 
18.6558 
110.6579 
152.7556 
250.9260 
279.8277 
284.9573 
285.2151 
285.3064 

This is from arts_y: 
37.5430 
36.6337 
32.2927 
24.3829 
21.9958 
19.4087 
18.6113 
110.5074 
152.5850 
250.8197 
279.7959 
284.9563 
285.2181 
285.3116 

For the call to arts-y I had to define: Q.T_FIELD, Q.Z_FIELD, Q.VMR_FIELD 

but I normally use the same values as the ones defined in Q.ABS_SPECIES and Q.T 
for Qpack. 

Do you have any idea on what I am doing wrong ? 

Thank you very much. 

Best regards, 

Pauline
