Case B 1: Rayleigh scattering, standard atmosphere
In this case it shall be tested whether the coupling between model layers is correctly included.
Setup:
- model atmosphere with 30 layers, optical thicknesses provided in tau_rayleigh_450.dat. The file includes 2 columns where the first is the altitude of the layer boundaries in km, and the second is the layer optical thickness (e.g. the value for 0 km corresponds to the optical thickness for the layer from 0 to 1 km).
- wavelength: 450 nm
- no molecular absorption
- Rayleigh depolarization factor: 0.03
- surface albedo: 0
- output altitudes: 0 km, 1 km, 30 km
- sun position (sza=60°, saa=0°)
- viewing zenith angles:
- at 0 km : vza: 0° - 85°, 5° increment
- at 1 km: vza: 0° - 180°, 5° increment (without 90°)
- at 30 km: vza: 95° - 180°, 5° increment
- viewing azimuth angle vaa: 0° - 180°, 5° increment
Output format:
- The output should be provided in the same format as for case A1 (Rayleigh scattering).
