Re: [arts-users] Use of scattering methods
Hi Patrick, Thanks again for your help! Is the iymc method generally slower than the iydoit method? If the radiative transfer rate calculated by the scattering method is very slow, does it mean that it is difficult to invert the atmospheric temperature and humidity profile from the scattering scene? Is there a quick way to calculate scattering? Looking forward to your reply again, thanks! Sincerely， Jiaan He.

Re: [arts-users] Use of scattering methods
Hi, In general, it works perfectly fine to use PlanckBT from start. But could depend on the calibration of the instrument you simulate. There is one exception, and that's iyMC. It does not accept PlanckBT, just RJBT. Bye, Patrick On 2023-11-02 08:42, suifengbenpao2023 wrote: Hi Patrick, Thank you for your help!

Hi Patrick,Thank you for your help! Based on your suggestion, I will no longer use iyfos and instead use iyMC to handle scattering situations. But I have another question that confuses me. I often see routines that use StringSet (iy_unit, "1") for unit conversion before calculating scattering, and then ultimately convert to StringSet (iy_unit, "PlanckBT"). Why do we do this? Can't we just switch to Planck brightness temperature? Looking forward to your reply again, thanks! Sincerely， Jiaan He.

Re: [arts-users] Use of scattering methods
Hi, FOS is "dead" and no plans to get it back to live. A main reason for starting FOS was to have scattering calculations, providing the Jacobian. This was newer completed. Instead, also iyHybrid was started and that method provides a Jacobian (not the totally full one, but seems to be good enough).
