Radiative Transfer Packages

• Second Simulation of a Satellite Signal in the Solar Spectrum code (6S)
  • The official web site has the latest software and documentation: 6SV2.1 (2014)
  • Download 6s (1997) Code (zip)
  • User Guide, PDF: part1, part2, part3
  • How to run 6S (txt)
  • Examples of 6S inputs and outputs
    • Example 1: input, output
    • Example 2: input, output
    • Example 3: input, output
    • Example 4: input, output
  • Example of typical simulations: code, output figures
  • Something you may be interested in: Py6S - A Python interface to 6S
• Atmospheric Radiative Transfer Database for Earth Climate Observation (ARTDECO, official web site)
  • artdeco.zip, data_artdeco.zip, both need to be downloaded.
  • How to run ARTDECO
  • Example of typical simulations: code, output figures (TOA and BOA flux, TOA radiance, TOA reflectance)
  • Details regarding the example code
• Ocean Successive Orders with Atmosphere - Advanced (OSOAA)
  • Code can be downloaded here or through GitHub.
  • User Manual
  • OSOAA Tutorial (how to install and run OSOAA with examples)
  • Example of typical simulations: code, python script to display results, output figures
• Speed-up Monte Carlo Advanced Radiative Transfer Code using GPU (SMART-G)
  • Both the code and installation guide are available at HYGEOS GitHub site. Follow the guide and you should have no problem installing SMART-G. However, be aware that it requires GPU for running the code.
  • Example runs are also provided in the folder 'notebooks'.
  • SMART-G runs in Python environment and requires conda, for which the installation guide can be found here.
  • Example of typical simulations: code, data needed for running the code, output figures
