data.edit.corr.aeth_calc_abs
data.edit.corr.aeth_calc_abs calculates absorption coefficients from Aetholemeter data. It uses the reported attenuation and flow and loads the spot sizes from the segmentation for the instrument in the $INSTRUMENT_spot segments.
data.edit.corr.aeth_calc_abs can operate as either an independent filter (provided the correct input is given) or as part of the correction chain
Command Line Usage
data.edit.corr.aeth_abs_calc [--input=A11] [--simple=N1,N2...]
Arguments
--input=A11
Specify what instrument or record base to use as the input, instead of trying to match what's available. Required if the input stream is ambiguous.
--simple=N1,N2...
Specify constants used to convert the black carbon concentrations to absorptions. The constants should be in m^2/g.
Example Usage
data.get mlo A81a 2010:1 1d | data.edit.corr.aeth_calc_abs
