Simple Example

# run SMART-G
# this simulation uses an AFGL tropical atmosphere without aerosols
# wavelength is 500 nm, number of photons is 10^9
# the surface is black
# 
# Stokes vector computation in Cone Sampling mode (default)
m = Smartg(pp=True).run(   # use plane parallel geometry
    THVDEG=45.,            # source zenith angle is 20°
    wl=555.,               # wavelength is 555nm
    NBPHOTONS=1e9,         # number of photons is 10^9
    atm=AtmAFGL('afglt'),  # use an AFGL tropical atmosphere without aerosols
    surf=None, water=None  # use a black surface
)

print ('kernel time for a GPU card Nvidia GTX 1070: %s (s)'%m.attrs['kernel time (s)'])

Advanced Example

# this simulation uses an AFGL tropical atmosphere at a latitude of 0°, with aerosols, ozone (300 DU)
# and a surface pressure of 960 hPa.
# aerosols model "maritime polluted" from OPAC with an optical thickness of 0.2 at 555 nm

# the surface is a wind-roughened sea surface with a wind speed of 5 m/s, 
# and the effect of wave shadows is included, index of refraction of water is 1.34.
# The ocean is considered homogeneous, typical of case 1 waters with a Chlorophyll a concentration
# of 0.1 mg/m3 and is 30 m deep. the sea bottom is a lambert reflector with a grey albedo of 0.2
# Stokes vector computation in Local Estimate mode 
# the outputs directions are specified by the user : here Zenith angles (10) and Azimuth angles (40)
# equally spaced (so 400 directions)
# wavelength is 555 nm, number of photons is 10^6 
# (in local estimate mode all photons contributes to the different directions, 
# so less photons are necessary than for the Cone sampling mode)

S=Smartg()     # the Smartg object is created (compilation is done once for all)
