Formalism
We consider a layer .
DPR(K) is the difference of pressure between the two levels that define the layer.
dm is the mass per m2 of the layer
LMDZ formalism
In LMDZ, in optcv.F90 we have :
TRAY(K,NW) = TAURAY(NW) * DPR(K)
exo_k formalism
TRAY \( \displaystyle = \sigma_{exok} dN \) with \( \displaystyle \sigma_{exok} \) the cross section and dN in molecules/m2
which gives : TRAY \( \displaystyle = \sigma_{exok} \frac{dm}{m_{molecule}} \) with dm in kg/m2
and then : TRAY \( \displaystyle = \frac{\sigma_{exok}}{g * m_{molecule}} dP\)
Relations between LMDZ & Exo_k formalisms
LMDZ & exo_k formalism are linked as following \[ \displaystyle \text{TAURAY} = \frac{\sigma_{exok}}{g * m_{molecule}} \]
Be careful with units !!! (cm-1 for wavenumbers in exo_k, microns for wavelengths in LMDZ, not to forget the scalep factor in LMDZ)
To be noticed
TAURAY(NW) is calculated in calc_rayleigh.F90.
It is in fact TAUVAR which calculated, and then averaged by the black body function for each channel to give TAURAY \[ \text{TAURAY(NW)} = \frac{\int_{\lambda' \in \text{channel}} \text{TAUVAR} (\lambda') B_{\lambda} \, \mathrm{d}\lambda'}{\int B_{\lambda} \, \mathrm{d}\lambda'} \]
