pyrtlib.absorption_model.LiqAbsModel.liquid_water_absorption#

static LiqAbsModel.liquid_water_absorption(water: ndarray, freq: ndarray, temp: ndarray) ndarray#

Computes absorption in Nepers/km by suspended liquid water droplets.

Parameters:
  • water (numpy.ndarray) – Liquid water content (\(g/m^3\)) - (mass of liquid water per volume of dry air).

  • freq (numpy.ndarray) – Frequency (GHz) - (valid from 0 to 1000 GHz).

  • temp (numpy.ndarray) – Temperature (K).

Returns:

Liquid water particels absorption (Np/km)

Return type:

np.ndarray
