Re: [alma-sw-ssr] Offline Requirements v3.1

[Robert Lucas <lucas@iram.fr>]

Hi all:

I haven't seen many comments yet on v3.1.  

I think the following requirements are missing, both for interferometric
and 
single dish data (-> n=4.2 ??).

Best regards

Robert

---------------------

Rn.1 Atmospheric modelling shall be available in the data reduction
  package.  The model shall be able to predict the absorption,
  emission and pathlength on the line of sight through the atmosphere
  at all ALMA bands. The prediction will be based on the following data:

  Rn.1.1 - measured atmospheric parameters at the site: temperature,
    pressure, humidity

  Rn.1.2 - measured atmospheric emission in the observed ALMA bands

  Rn.1.3 - measured FTS data

  Rn.1.4 - measured atmospheric profiles of temperature and water
content if
    available from atmospheric sounders

prio 1

Rn.2 Atmospheric modelling shall be usable to derive by model fitting
  the system temperatures corrected for atmospheric absorption in all
  astronomical bands in use, in order to correct the observed
  amplitudes at various elevations.

prio 1

Rn.3 Atmospheric modelling shall be also usable to provide the
  conversion factors between WVR data and the water contribution to
  the astronomical phase in the astronomical bands.

prio 1
