MONORTM
MONORTM_v4.2
-
An error related to the print-out of total optical depths in the MONORTM.OUT file was corrected.
MONORTM_v4.1
-
Code is now using MT_CKD_2.4 continuum, which includes significant updates to the self- and foreign-broadened water vapor continuum in the
range 0 to 600 cm-1 (0 to 18 THz), based on new analyses of ARM measurements in the
microwave and far-IR regions. (Payne et al., manuscript in preparation, Delamere et
al., manuscript in preparation)
-
An error related to calculations for multiple profiles was corrected.
-
Code has been modified to pass optical depth arrays between subroutines as arguments
in order to improve modularity of the Monochromatic Optical Depth Model (MODM)
module. In addition, the IOD option may now be used as a flag to output layer optical
depths to ascii files.
MONORTM_v4.0
-
Code has been updated to allow monochromatic calculations at frequencies beyond the
microwave region. These updates include the implementation of CO2 line coupling and
the option to include cross-section molecules. Format of output files has been
modified to accommodate this change.
-
Calculation of the total internal partition sum has been updated to be consistent
with the calculation in LBLRTM.
-
MonoRTM now uses MT_CKD_2.1 continuum (previously was using CDK_2.4).
-
An error in the nitrogen continuum has been corrected.
-
The INP option has been replaced by the use of IATM=1 or IATM=0 (consistent with
LBLRTM). A stand-alone IDL program is provided to convert ARM netCDF profiles into MONORTM input format.
MONORTM_v3.3
-
directory structure has been changed to make it more consistent with LBLRTM
-
the 22GHz and the 183GHz water vapor lines have been updated (Payne et al, 2008)
-
the 325 GHz water vapor line has been updated to reflect CRB calculations by Gamache
-
the 380 GHz water vapor line has been updated according to measurements by Koshelev et al (2007)
-
corrected error in surface reflectance code
-
updated limb radiative transfer code
MONORTM_v3.0
-
code has been updated to allow scaling of profiles
-
spectral line file has been modified to include new oxygen line widths and
line-coupling coefficients from Tretyakov et al (2005)
-
more lines in the spectral line file are now included in the fast option, to increase
accuracy at higher frequencies and lower water vapor amounts
MONORTM_v2.20
-
code has been restructured and made more robust
-
new makefiles allow for the creation of single and double precision code on SGIs and on MacOSX
MONORTM_v2.12
-
a new LBLATM module has been added, which is consistent with the LBLATM
module currently used by LBLRTM
-
several minor coding inconsistencies, which led to compilation errors under
some compilers, have been eliminated
MONORTM_v2.11
-
O2 line coupling parameters have been modified to yield significantly better
agreement with MWRP measurements in the 50-60 GHz range
-
code output contains more detailed information on the current version of
the software and the spectral lines file
