Code and data for analysis in "Emissivity Retrievals with FORUM's End-to-end Simulator: Challenges and Recommendations" https://amt.copernicus.org/articles/15/1755/2022/
The FEES outputs can be found here in an OUTPUTS folder: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.5960223
The OUTPUTS/ folder has three sub-folders:
- Final/ has all the full FEES retrieval run outputs used for the analysis
- SGM/ has the synthetic scene outputs shown in Figure 2
- transmittance_results/ has the transmittance for scene 67N 18E (not a default output of the FEES) shown in Figure 3
Each run folder in Final/ contains a set of FEES output files, out of which the following two are most important for the analysis:
- fe2es_l2m_out_d0001.nc - the output of the L2M retrieval module
- fe2es_sgm_ref_d0001_acq3.nc - the reference atmosphere (synthetic scene) for that case In addition the final emissivity jacobian d_emi_num_full.dat and the atmosphere steps in the iterative retrieval process 00x_L2M_OUT.nc are also used in the analysis of the paper and are included in the folders together with additional files that are relevant for the retrieval settings.
runs.h5 is a list of all the FEES runs used (and more not uploaded) with their parameters and settings. This is a useful reference to understand the folder names.
In addition, EMISS/ has the theoretical emissivities used in the FEES (from Huang et al. 2018)
The jupyter notebook FORUM emissivity retrievals has the python code for producing all the figures and tables found in the paper. It should be run in the same directory where the OUTPUTS/ folder has been extracted to.
