Closed mzamyatina closed 3 years ago

mzamyatina commented 3 years ago

Functions added:

read_spectral_bands()
read_normalized_stellar_flux()
calc_stellar_flux()
calc_transmission_spectrum_day_night_average()

Required inputs:

spectral_file - SOCRATES spectral file used by the UM
stellar_constant_at_1_au in [W m-2]
stellar_radius in [m]
planet_top_of_atmosphere in [m]
planet_transmission_day - UM m01s01i755 output (for hot Jupiters) from the dayside calculation
planet_transmission_night - UM m01s01i755 output (for hot Jupiters) from the nightside calculation

How get the required UM output, please read http://exoclimatology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Transmission_Spectra
