colour.sd_rayleigh_scattering(shape=SpectralShape(360, 780, 1), CO2_concentration=300, temperature=288.15, pressure=101325, latitude=0, altitude=0, avogadro_constant=6.02214179e+23, n_s=<function air_refraction_index_Bodhaine1999>, F_air=<function F_air_Bodhaine1999>)[source]

Returns the Rayleigh spectral distribution for given spectral shape.

Parameters:
  • shape (SpectralShape, optional) – Spectral shape used to create the Rayleigh scattering spectral distribution.
  • CO2_concentration (numeric or array_like, optional) – \(CO_2\) concentration in parts per million (ppm).
  • temperature (numeric or array_like, optional) – Air temperature \(T[K]\) in kelvin degrees.
  • pressure (numeric or array_like) – Surface pressure \(P\) of the measurement site.
  • latitude (numeric or array_like, optional) – Latitude of the site in degrees.
  • altitude (numeric or array_like, optional) – Altitude of the site in meters.
  • avogadro_constant (numeric or array_like, optional) – Avogadro’s number (molecules \(mol^{-1}\)).
  • n_s (object) – Air refraction index \(n_s\) computation method.
  • F_air (object) – \((6+3_p)/(6-7_p)\), the depolarisation term \(F(air)\) or King Factor computation method.
Returns:

Rayleigh optical depth spectral distribution.

Return type:
