If you are looking for the Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) v2.4.0 release you are in the right place! See the All Releases page for release notes and known bugs.
This repository contains the model code and external links needed to build the Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM).
The Community Radiative Transfer Model (CRTM) is a development project led by the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA). The purpose of the CRTM is to provide a fast and accurate radiative transfer model for remote sensing applications and satellite radiance data assimilation. The CRTM offers performance to operational users and is easily accessible to the scientific community at large. It’s modular code structure and continuous integration development philosophy facilitate the rapid integration of state-of-the-art advances in radiative transfer.
This wiki includes a Getting Started section that leads you through a quick guide to getting started with the CRTM project. It also includes a Graduate Student Test, which provides a simple example of cloning, building and running the CRTM. The Graduate Student Test is designed to provide the lowest barrier to entry to the CRTM.
See https://ufscommunity.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/UFS_Newsletter_Summer_2020_Full.pdf for a UFS Newsletter article on the CRTM community modeling efforts.
Documentation is provided through two primary sources:
- This Wiki
- The CRTM User Guide
Depending on what you are doing, you may need different versions of the Users Guide:
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| Tag crtm-v2.4.0 | Documentation for the CRTM v2.4.0 release and the version currently used in the Getting Started section. |
| Tag crtm-v2.3_jedi | Documentation for the CRTM release used in the JEDI framework |
| Latest | Documentation for the head of the development. This may have gaps and errors. |
