Description

FUNCTION DEPRECATED - MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN FUTURE RELEASES Generates absorption and scattering coefficients as well as temperature and pressure using the HELEEOS oceanic database and the Advanced Navy Aerosol Model (ANAM) or the Navy Aerosol Model (NAM).

Parameters
Parameters 
Description 
h [vector] 
Altitude (m) 
model [string/cell] 
'A' for absorption, 'S' for scattering, 'T' for temperature, 'P' for pressure, 'R' for Relative humidity, 'D' for dewpoint, 'AA' for aerosol absorption, 'AS' for aerosol scattering, 'MA' for molecular absorption, and 'MS' for molecular scattering. Can be a cell array of models in which case the output can be a single matrix with the appropriate data or each model can be output into separate variables, see the examples below. If passed in as [], output will be a structure with all model data. 
lambda [string] 
Identifier for desired laser wavelength. 1 - '355', 0.355 microns, 2 - '380', 0.380 microns, 3 - '400', 0.400 microns, 4 - '532', 0.532 microns, 5 - '525', 0.525 microns, 6 - '550', 0.550 microns, 7 - '620', 0.620 microns, 8 - '650', 0.650 microns, 9 - '670', 0.670 microns, 10 - '680', 0.680 microns, 11 - '690', 0.690 microns, 12 - '1000', 1.000 microns, 13 - '1030', 1.030 microns, 14 - '1045', 1.045 microns, 15 - '1054', 1.054 microns, 16 - '1064', 1.0642 microns, 17 - '1315', 1.31525 microns, 18 - '1586', 1.586 microns, 19 - '1625', 1.625 microns, 20 - '2141', 2.141 microns, 21 - '3800', 3.800 microns, 22 - '4636', 4.636 microns, 23 - '9300', 9.300 microns, 24 - '10600', 10.600 microns 
location [vector] 
[Lat Lon] of ocean site. If more than 1 degree from a valid ocean site, a warning is issued and the closest ocean site is used. If passed in as empty, a map is displayed and the user can click on the desired location. 
season [scalar] 
(Optional) Index to season: 1 - summer (default), 2 - winter 
upperAirType [scalar] 
(Optional) Index to upper air type. If not specified, one is chosen based on location (will not choose tropical or desert). 1 - 'Polar North', 2 - 'Mid-Latitude North', 3 - 'Mid-Latitude South', 4 - 'Polar South', 5 - 'Tropical', 6 - 'Desert' 
obsType [scalar] 
(Optional) Index to the type of ocean observation data to use: 1 - 'Mean', 2 - 'Median', 3 - 'Mode', 4 - 'Min', 5 - 'Max' 
ANAMflag [logical] 
(Optional) If true, ANAM model is used, otherwise, NAM is used. The default is true.

Description 
out [vector] 
Absorption or scattering coefficient (1/m), temperature (K), pressure (Pa), rel humidity (%), or dewpoint (K) 
Examples

  • Abs = MarineAtmos(h,'A','1315',[0 0],1,5,'Mean')
  • [Abs Temp] = MarineAtmos(h,{'A' 'T'},'1315',[0 0],1,5,'Max')
  • [MAbs MScat] = MarineAtmos(h,{'MA' 'MS'},'1315',[0 0],1,5,'Max')
  • data = MarineAtmos(h,{'A' 'T'},'1315',[0 0],1,5,'Max')
    • Returns a nx2 matrix with absorption in column 1 and temperature in column 2
  • data = MarineAtmos(h,[],'1315',[0 0],1,5,'Min')
    • Returns a structure with all of the models (including a breakout of aerosol and molecular absorption and scattering)
  • Atm = AtmStruct(G,100,'Abs','MarineAtmos','A','1315',[0 0],)
    • Atm structure using the Marine data
