Returns
string

Example

 
 
p = at.getProfile()  
# returns a tuple of  
# 0 - string listing of layer values, and arrays of layer, 1 - thickness,  
# 2 - temperature, 3 - watermassdensity, 4 - water (number density),  
# 5 - pressure, 6 - O3 (number density), 7 - CO, 8 - N2O  
for i in range(at.getNumLayers()):  
        # Print atmospheric profile returned by at.getProfile():  
        # Layer thickness (idx=1), Temperature (idx=2),  
        # Number density of water vapor(idx=4), and Pressure (idx=5)  
        print p[1][’value’][i], p[2][’value’][i], p[4][’value’][i],\  
              p[5][’value’][i]  
 
print p[0]    # "pretty" listing of all layer parameters
