In any case, nonequilibrium spectra shall be calculated along with related local thermodynamic equilibrium spectra. Four different atmospheric models shall be considered, with highest priority on the midlatitude/day atmosphere.
Some parameters have not been defined but shall be chosen by each participant as considered appropriate (internal altitude grid; handling of lines outside the microwindow...).
The reason is that a lot of algorithms have automated parameter optimization facilities which shall not be by-passed or deactivated for this exercise.
Along with the equilibrium and nonequilibrium spectra please provide the following data which will be used for diagnostics:
Please provide radiance spectra in units of nW/(cm2 sr cm-1) as ASCII files and use the following data format
Calculated spectra should be put here
Results of this comparison will be published at IRS'2000 and possibly in a subsequent paper. If your contribution shall be published anonymous, please inform me; otherwise the origin of the data will be traceable in the publication.
