Synopsis
atmosphere(altitude, temperature, pressure, maxAltitude, humidity, dTem_dh, dP, dPm, h0, atmType)
Description
This is used to construct
atmosphere tool with the condition at the position
the user wants to calculate the profile, the integrated opatical depth on each
band, the integrated optical depth for each channel of each band, the absorption
coefficients, the dispersive and non-dispersive phase delay factor, the sky
brightness, etc.
This returns a Glish variable containing the tool of atmosphere.
