====================================================================== JURASSIC-PADC ====================================================================== Introduction ------------ The Juelich Rapid Spectral Simulation Code (JURASSIC) is a fast radiative transfer model for the mid-infrared spectral region developed at the Juelich Supercomputing Centre, Germany. JURASSIC has been developed to support the analysis of atmospheric remote sensing measurements. The model has been used to retrieve geophysical data such as pressure, temperature, and trace gas concentrations from ESA and NASA satellite measurements and observations of local aircraft experiments. This repository contains JURASSIC-PADC, a modified version of JURASSIC to be used on GPU systems. Algorithms ---------- JURASSIC uses computationally efficient methods for the radiative transfer calculations. Radiative transfer calculations are based on the Curtis-Godson Approximation (CGA) and the Emissivity Growth Approximation (EGA). Band transmittances are obtained from pre-calculated look-up tables from line-by-line reference model calculations. JURASSIC features a 3-D raytracer to realize different observation geometries and to enable tomographic studies. JURASSIC has also been extended to perform Mie-scattering calculations for aerosol and ice particles. The model was carefully tested in intercomparisons with the Karlsruhe Optimized and Precise Radiative Transfer Algorithm (KOPRA) and the Oxford Reference Forward Model (RFM). Implementation -------------- JURASSIC is written in the C programming language and consists of about 10,000 lines of code. It uses the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) for numerical operations. JURASSIC can be used on a desktop PC, but it also features an MPI/OpenMP hybrid-parallelization for efficient use on supercomputers. Contact ------- We are interested in sharing JURASSIC for research applications. JURASSIC-PADC is distributed under the GNU GPL v3. Please contact us for further details.
