NAME

htmie — High-Tune: Mie

DESCRIPTION

htmie is a netCDF file format for storing the optical properties of water droplets obtained by Mie scattering evaluation. A htmie netCDF file must define the following variables:

lambda

One-dimensional array of floating-point data that lists the wavelengths in nanometers for which the following data are defined.

macs

One dimensional array of massic absorption cross-sections in kg of liquid water in suspension.

mscs

One-dimensional table of mass diffusion cross-sections in kg of suspended liquid water.

g

One-dimensional table of asymmetry parameters of the Henyey-Greenstein equivalent phase function.

STANDARDS

Edward Hartnett, netCDF4/HDF5 File Format, ESDS-RFC-022v1, March 2011.

HISTORY

The htmie format was first developed for the htrdr(1) program.
