Abstract

The Juelich Rapid Spectral Simulation Code (JURASSIC) is a fast infrared radiative transfer model for the analysis of atmospheric remote sensing measurements. Changes in this release: Update CITATION.cff file. Fixed code style. Updated headers. Added day2doy and doy2day functions and tools. Update README. Moved optimal estimation retrieval function to library file. Added check of magic keys for binary data. Added tests for binary file-I/O. Added binary format for observation data files. Added tool to convert observation file format. Added binary format for atmospheric data files. Added macros to convert NEDT to NESR and vice versa. Added const qualifiers. Fixed path for reading observational data. Update doxygen comments. Update tbl_test. Added code to write per-gas emissivity look-up tables. Fixed output of step size diagnostics. Added code to evaluate forward model results. Added test for hydrostatic code. Replaced sza() by cos_sza() function. Fixed output of raytrace tool. Added test for look-up table tools. Fix look-up table directory. Added CGA test. Update limb test. Added FOV test. Reorganized test data. Added tests for tools. Added test case for retrieval code. Moved retrieval functions to jurassic.* files. Removed surface pressure and surface height variables. Added check whether local surface is included in atmospheric profiles. Update look-up table interpolation. Added check for ground height in raytracer. Fix HiRSE Code Promo Badge link formatting Modified function interface of read_tbl().
