Data Handling

NetCDF Format

RTnn works with NetCDF files in the format: rtnetcdf_XXX_YYYY.nc

• XXX: Processor rank (3 digits)

• YYYY: Year (4 digits)

Data Structure

Input variables: - coszang: Cosine of solar zenith angle - laieff_collim: Collimated leaf area index - laieff_isotrop: Isotropic leaf area index - leaf_ssa: Leaf single scattering albedo - leaf_psd: Leaf phase function asymmetry - rs_surface_emu: Surface reflectance

Output variables: - collim_alb: Collimated albedo - collim_tran: Collimated transmittance - isotrop_alb: Isotropic albedo - isotrop_tran: Isotropic transmittance
