Case B2: Rayleigh scattering and molecular absorption
This test checks whether molecular absorption is correct. The setup is the same as for case B1 but with molecular absorption.
Setup:
- model atmosphere with 30 layers, scattering optical thicknesses provided in tau_rayleigh.dat, absorption optical thickness in tau_molabs.dat
- wavelength: 325 nm
- Rayleigh depolarization factor: 0.03
- output altitudes: 0 km, 15 km, 30 km
- sun position (sza=60°, saa=0°)
- viewing zenith angles:
- at 0 km : vza: 0° - 85°, 5° increment
- at 15 km: vza: 0° - 180°, 5° increment (without 90°)
- at 30 km: vza: 95° - 180°, 5° increment
- viewing azimuth angle vaa: 0° - 180°, 5° increment
Output format:
- The output should be provided in the same format as for case A1 (Rayleigh scattering).
