ARTS - Fluxes from the far infrared to the ultra violet
The interaction of electromagnetic radiation with the planetary atmospheres is the basis for atmospheric remote sensing as well one of the driving mechanisms of the climate system. Radiative transfer models help us to understand this. ARTS (the Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Simulator) is a general purpose open source line-by-line radiative transfer model developed by Universi†ät Hamburg and Chalmers University.
In the past ARTS lacked a collimated beam source, it was limited to thermal radiation or in context of planets it was limited to MW and infrared radiation. It could not simulate solar radiation observations or solar radiation energy fluxes. Nowadays, the sun shines also within ARTS as it now has a collimated beam source. This opens up a wide range of new possibilities for ARTS. It allows physically consistent simulations of radiation from the far infrared to the UV range of the electromagnetic spectrum. There is no need for different models for different wavelength ranges for example when using it as radiation part in a radiative-convective-equilibrium like konrad.
In this talk I will present physically consistent and spectrally resolved simulations of all sky radiation fluxes from the far infrared to the UV range of the electromagnetic spectrum. These kinds of simulations allow us to zoom in on the very details of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation and the atmosphere for example where energy is exchanged not only on the spatial scale but also on the spectral scale.
