our main issue here is to understand what unit logrel(O3) implies.
following Patrick's advice from the previous (wind) thread, I checked the
AUG (and the correct one for that matter - cause we're still using arts2.2;
'logrel' retrieval unit seems to be gone in arts2.3) - et voila!
(it's sec. 16.4 for all others interested in the matter)

so, according to my understanding of Sec16.4, 'logrel' is (at least
regarding the Jacobian output) identical to 'rel', which in turn for the
(semi-)analytical jacobians corresponds (or, is scaled) to a 100% change in
the abs species (here, O3) with respect to the species' VMRs (as given by
the vmr_field interpolated to the species' Jacobian p_grid). Is that
understanding correct?

and how is that for 'vmr' then? would the jacobians correspond to a '1' (or
10^6 ppm) change in the species? or a 1ppm change? (i'm unsure what VMR's
SI unit is...).

best wishes,
Jana

I took my info from the built-in doc for wind_v_fields and sensor_los.
I did now update the wind field section in the AUG with an explicit
statement that positive/negative v-winds in 1D correspond to tail/head
winds, respectively (incl a reference to the AUG section Patrick pointed
out).

I'm aware of this. And no critisism of that at all.

I had indeed not checked the AUG, but used the built-in doc instead. Thanks
for adding the clarification there, Patrick!

However, the tricky part here (and on other occassions), particularly for
people not that familiar with ARTS, is to know what to look for and where
look for it specifically: for the 1D wind case, even with Patrick's
clarification, the crucial point is/was join the information available in
the wind_v_fields and the sensor_los/atm_dim documentation. I am not sure,
if I had taken a look into the AUG regarding that matter that this would
have included the atm dim (3.2) section.

But, that's why the mailinglist is so great! there are people out there
with better overview and better detail knowledge, who can answer questions
or at least point one in a (better) direction where to look for. :)
So thanks, Patrick & Richard (and everyone else contributing on other
occassions) for your valuable feedback!

Best wishes,
Jana

Re: [arts-users] O3 Jacobians

2019-04-04 Thread Richard Larsson
Hi again Rita,

The ARTS approach to all this comes from the idealistic view of a computer
model as a simple linear algebra system,

J · x = y,

where J is 'the model', or the Jacobian matrix, x is the model input, i.e.,
O3, and y is the model output, i.e., the simulated radiation.  From this,
the units in J must, when multiplied by x, give the unit of y.  You have
iy_unit in ARTS to set the radiation unit of J and y.  You can read about
iy_unit only in the individual *Standard iy-functions, like
iyEmissionStandard.  In your jacobianAddAbsSpecies, you set the unit of x
to be logrel.  So, the unit in your case of J will be [iy_unit /
logrel(O3)].

Note that if you add more components to the Jacobian, such as wind or
temperature or whatnot, then these additions will have different units in
their respective positions of J and x.

With hope,
//Richard

[arts-users] O3 Jacobians

2019-04-04 Thread Rita Kajtar
Hello!


Since it is hard to trust that the e-mails sent from my LTU account are
reaching everybody in the ARTS users list, I will, from now on, use my
Gmail account.

Thank you to those who helped out with my first problem.

Below is another short question I addressed to the community yesterday, but
I am not sure who received it or if anyone received it at all. If someone
did, my apologies for spamming again.

This time my question is related to the calculation of Jacobians for O3.

I am considering a no winds, no specific atmospheric background case and
the jacobianAddAbsSpecies in my control file is set as it follows:










*jacobianAddAbsSpecies(  g1=p_grid,  g2=gas1_jac_lat_grid,
g3=gas1_jac_lon_grid,  species="O3",  method="analytical",  unit="logrel",
  )*

When looking at the change in Bt in my plots, in what units the change of
O3 is being represented?


Best regards,

Rita Kajtar
