pytmosph3r

Pytmosph3R is a Python-3 library that computes transmission spectra based on 3D atmospheric simulations, for example performed with the LMDZ generic global climate model.

Prerequisites

• numpy

Installing from source

Install pytmosph3r:

pip install -e .

Or by running the setup.py script:

python setup.py install

However the first method is to be preferred for developing.

To generate the documentation, you will need to install the following packages:

pip install nbsphinx sphinx-autoapi sphinx_rtd_theme sphinxcontrib-bibtex sphinx-argparse
conda install sphinx # installs more (required) dependencies than pip

You can then generate the documentation by running:

python setup.py doc

(or by simply running make in the doc/ folder). The documentation will be generated in the doc/html folder (you can open the index.html file to check it out using your favorite browser).

Note that you need to set the environment variable FASTCHEM_DIR to the location of the folder containing FastChem if you want to use that functionality (WIP).

Running

To get help:

pytmosph3r -h

See the documentation for more information (read instructions in Installation just above to generate the doc).
