Purpose
Computes black body radiance and brightness temperature.
Synopsis
- v = blackbody_r(wv,temp,flag,wave)
- temp = blackbody_r(wv,v,flag,wave)
Description
BLACBODY_R is used to calculate randiance from the Planck function in units of W/(m^2 sr cm^-1) or uW/(m^2 sr um^-1). BLACBODY_R can be also be used to calculate brightness temperature from the inverse Planck function for inputs in units of W/(m^2 sr cm^-1) or uW/(m^2 sr um^-1). Calculations can be performed for axis units in wavenumbers (1/cm) or in microns (um). See I/O specific inputs/outputs below.
Input/Output
