[docs]class Aeronet: """Contains functions for importing AERONET measurements to set the 6S aerosol profile."""
[docs] @classmethod def import_aeronet_data(cls, s, filename, time): """Imports data from an AERONET data file to a given SixS object. This requires a valid AERONET data file and the `pandas` package (see http://pandas.pydata.org/ for installation instructions). The type of AERONET file required is a *Combined file* for All Points (Level 1.5 or 2.0) To download a file like this: 1. Go to http://aeronet.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/webtool_opera_v2_inv 2. Choose the site you want to get data from 3. Tick the box near the bottom labelled as "Combined file (all products without phase functions)" 4. Choose either Level 1.5 or Level 2.0 data. Level 1.5 data is unscreened, so contains far more data meaning it is more likely for you to find data near your specified time. 5. Choose All Points under Data Format 6. Download the file 7. Unzip 8. Pass the filename to this function Arguments: * ``s`` -- A :class:`.SixS` instance whose parameters you would like to set with AERONET data * ``filename`` -- The filename of the AERONET file described above * ``time`` -- The date and time of the simulation you want to run, used to choose the AERONET data which is closest in time. Provide this as a string in almost any format, and Python will interpret it. For example, ``"12/03/2010 15:39"``. When dates are ambiguous, the parsing routine will favour DD/MM/YY rather than MM/DD/YY. Return value: The function will return ``s`` with the ``aero_profile`` and ``aot550`` fields filled in from the AERONET data. Notes: Beware, this function makes a number of assumptions and performs a number of possibly-inaccurate steps. 1. The refractive indices for aerosols are only provided in AERONET data at a few wavelengths, but 6S requires them at 20 wavelengths. Thus, the refractive indices are extrapolated outside of their original range, to provide the necessary data. This is generally not a wonderful idea, but it is the only way to be able to use the data within 6S. In many cases the refractive indices seem to change very little - but please do check this yourself! 2. The AERONET AOT measurement at the wavelength closest to 550nm (the wavelength required for the AOT specification in 6S) is used. This varies depending on the AERONET site, but may be 50-100nm (or more) away from 550nm. In future versions this code will interpolate the AOT at 550nm using the Angstrom coefficent.
