atmosphere.getDispersivePathLength - Function

4.1.1 get the integrated Atmospheric Dispersive Path
Description

Retrieve the integrated Atmospheric Path length (Dispersive part) along the atmospheric path corresponding to the user water column for channel nc in spectral window spwid.

Arguments


Inputs
nc	Channel number (0-based; defaults to reference channel)
	allowed:	int
	Default:	-1
spwid	Int standing for spectral window id (0-based)
	allowed:	int
	Default:	0

Returns
Quantity

Example

w = at.getUserWH2O()
nb = 1
fC = quantity([850.0],’GHz’)
fW = quantity([0.5],’GHz’)
nfR = quantity([0.5],’GHz’)
at.initSpectralWindow(nb,fC,fW,fR)
print "Total Dispersive Delay at ", fC.value, fC.units, " for 1.0 air mass: ", at.getDispersivePathLength().value / w.value, " meters per mm of water vapor"
print "(",100*(at.getDispersivePathLength().value / w.value)/(at.getNonDispersivePathLength().value / w.value), "% of the Non-dispersive one )"
