setcoef General Algorithm

  • Find the two reference pressures on either side of the layer pressure. store them in jp and jp1. store in fp the fraction of the difference (in ln(pressure)) between these two values that the layer pressure lies.
  • Determine, for each reference pressure (jp and jp1), which reference temperature (these are different for each reference pressure) is nearest the layer temperature but does not exceed it. store these indices in jt and jt1, resp. store in ft (resp. ft1) the fraction of the way between jt (jt1) and the next highest reference temperature that the layer temperature falls.
  • We have now isolated the layer ln pressure and temperature, between two reference pressures and two reference temperatures (for each reference pressure). we multiply the pressure fraction fp with the appropriate temperature fractions to get the factors that will be needed for the interpolation that yields the optical depths (performed in routines taugbn for band n).
  • If the pressure is less than ~100mb, perform a different set of species interpolations.
  • Set up factors needed to separately include the water vapor foreign-continuum in the calculation of absorption coefficient.
  • Set up factors needed to separately include the water vapor self-continuum in the calculation of absorption coefficient.
