Caution
This package is superseeded by a TUW-GEO/rt1_model!
(TUW-GEO/rt1_model provides similar functionalities but with a simplified and more robust API)
The package implements a first order scattering radiative transfer model for random volume over ground as documented in Quast & Wagner (2016) and Quast, Albergel, Calvet, Wagner (2019)
The documentation of the package is found here. (Note that the documentation is still under construction.)
-
🏞️ rt1.volume and rt1.surface
- a collection of useful surface- and volume scattering distribution functions
-
🔨 rt1.rt1
-
generic implementation of radiative transfer calculations for a random volume over ground
-
symbolic evaluation of first-order interaction contribution estimates
-
-
⚙️ rt1.rtfits
-
a flexible interface to perform parameter estimation from incidence-angle
dependent backscatter-timeseries via non-linear least-squares fitting routines. -
integrates with a set of pre-defined plot-functions and interactive
widgets that can be used to quickly analyze the obtained results
-
-
🚀 rt1.rtprocess
- a versatile interface to setup and run parallelized processing
-
📑 rt1.rtparse
- a configparser to set up processing-routines via .ini files

For a basic install, the following line should be fine:
pip install rt1
In order to get a significant speedup in the symbolic computations and enable
NetCDF functionalities, it is recommended to install the module with the
optional dependencies symengine and xarray by using:
pip install rt1[full]
