pyrtlib.absorption_model.H2OAbsModel.h2o_continuum

H2OAbsModel.h2o_continuum(frq: ndarray, vx: ndarray, nfreq: int) → ndarray

Compute the self-continuum absorption of water vapor. Fit a curve to mtckd 4.1 self-continuum adapted from mt_ckd_h2o_module.f90 (March 20, 2023)

Parameters:

• frq (np.ndarray) – Frequency (GHz)

• vx (np.ndarray) – Theta (adim) - (normalised temperature 300/t(K))

• nfreq (int) – Number of frequencies

Returns:

self-continuum term ((1/cm)/mbar**2)

Return type:

np.ndarray
