# File Alice_Springs_balloon_Apr.amc - Model for the atmosphere above a # balloon launched from Alice Springs, at latitude 23.7 deg S, for the # month of April. # ? ? usage: am Alice_Springs_balloon_Apr.amc fmin fmax df zenith_angle ? ? where: fmin = minimum frequency ? fmax = maximum frequency ? df = frequency grid interval ? za = zenith angle ? ? example: am Alice_Springs_balloon_Apr.amc 325 GHz 425 GHz 0.2 MHz 0 deg ? ? Setting df = 0.2 MHz will resolve all lines to the lowest-pressure level ? (1 mbar) in this model. Run time and output size can be considerably ? reduced by setting df = 1 MHz, for which only a small fraction of line ? cores will be unresolved. ? ? To use this file at a given flight pressure, comment out layers at ? higher pressure. The comments in this file indicating the altitude for ? each pressure level follow the CIRA-86 reference atmosphere. ? ? Because Doppler broadening is neglected, it is recommended to use this ? file for frequencies fmax < 1000 GHz. ? # # # Layer pressures and temperatures here are interpolated from the CIRA-86 # reference atmosphere for April, for 23.7 deg S latitude. # # Reference: # # Committee on Space Research (COSPAR).
