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

Building correlated-k tables

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
