This page describes the main steps required to build new opacity tables.
Calculation of high-resolution spectra
describe the tools we used :
- k-spectrum
- home-made scripts
describe the tools we used:
- home-made scripts
- exo-k (http://perso.astrophy.u-bordeaux.fr/~jleconte/exo_k-doc/index.html)
Several important notes:
- The units of correlated-k tables is cm^2/molec.
- The format of correlated-k tables is (n_temperature, n_pressure, n_vmr, n_band, n_gauss)
Adding continuum opacities
Explain strategies to calculate continuum opacities
- Usually the continuum units used as input in the GCM is cm-1 amagat-2
