Eradiate DISORT Release: v1.1.0

·1 min

We are happy to announce the release the DISORT backend v1.1.0!

This new release adds support for the pseudo-spherical correction built into CDISORT. This option activates automatically when the backend detects a spherical-shell geometry and corrects the direct light beam to account for planetary curvature. Although scattering remains processed under the plane-parallel assumption, this significantly improves the correctness of results under high solar zenith angles. High viewing zenith values, however are not corrected for.

For details, check the documentation and get the backend from PyPI!

Example with a solar zenith angle of 85°. See the new example notebook for details.
