-==== Where is the tools directory? ==== +

-The directory structure has changed a bit from version 1.3 to version 1.4. We made libRadtran a bit more compliant to the "​standard"​ source code structure. All the sources are now in src, the library sources in libsrc_c and libsrc_f, and the binaries go into bin. While this is not a big improvement in itself, one may now use "make install"​ as with most other UNIX/Linux tools.+

 +==== User defined aerosol ====
 +
 +The most general method to setup your own aerosol (or cloud) properties is the following:
 +
 +  profile_file 1D aer1 your_aerosol1.dat
 +  profile_properties aer1 your_aerosol1.cdf interpolate
 +
 +  profile_file 1D aer2 your_aerosol2.dat
 +  profile_properties aer2 your_aerosol2.cdf interpolate
 +
 +  ...
 +
 +This way you may combine as many aerosol species as you need. The profile_file includes mass concentration altitude profiles and particle size. The netcdf profile_properties_files include the aerosol optical properties (extinction,​ single scattering albedo, phase matrix, Legendre polynomials of phase matrix ... ) and can be generated using e.g. the Mie tool in libRadtran, where you can specify refractive index and size distribution parameters (see examples/​MIE_2.INP). Run 
 +   ​bin/​mie < examples/​MIE_2.INP
 +and you may use the output wc.mie.cdf as example for an optical properties file.
