EOIR CloudData

Set values for EOIR cloud data.

Syntax

EOIR <ScenarioPath> CloudData {Option} <CloudLabel> [<Parameter>]

Description

Use the EOIR cloud data command to define cloud coverage using a dataset or file.

The following table describes the valid values for {Option} and associated parameters.

{Option} Description
NewDataSet <Label> <Time Interval>Creates a new cloud data set for the time interval chosen.

<Label> is the user-defined name of the data set.

<Time Interval> is the time interval of the data set in epoch seconds from the start of the scenario.

NewConstDataSet <Label>Creates a new cloud data set that persists for the whole scenario interval.

<Label> is the user-defined name of the data set.

RemoveDataSet <Label>Removes the specified data set. If no data sets are available but clouds are set to On, it will revert to a default data set.

<Label> is the name of any existing data set that will be removed.

SetValue <Label> <Parameter> <Value>Sets the value for the specified parameter of the selected cloud data set.

<Label> is the user-defined name of the data set.

Valid options for <Parameter> are:

  • Altitude
  • PercentCloudCoverConst
  • PercentCloudCoverFile
  • RadianceConst
  • EmissivityConst
  • TemperatureConst
  • ForwardScatterConst
  • BackScatterConst

See the table below for valid options for <Value>.

ParameterDescriptionValues
AltitudeSets the altitude of the cloud layer in km.0 to 100
PercentCloudCoverConstSets the ratio of the cloud coverage.0 to 1
PercentCloudCoverFileDefines the cloud coverage using a file.Filepath to valid file.
RadianceConstChanges the radiance of the cloud in W/cm^2 * sr *um.0 to 10000
EmissivityConstChanges the Emissivity of the cloud.0 to 1
TemperatureConstChanges the Temperature of the cloud in K.0 to 10000
ForwardScatterConstChanges the Forward Scattering of the cloud.0 to 1

Examples

To create a new cloud data set for the chosen time interval.

EOIR */ CloudData NewDataSet MyDataSet 0 600

To create a new cloud data set that persists for the whole scenario interval.

EOIR */ CloudData NewConstDataSet MyConstDataSet

To remove a data set.

EOIR */ CloudData RemoveDataSet MyDataSet

To set the emissivity of the cloud data set to 20%.

EOIR */ CloudData SetValue MyConstDataSet EmissivityConst 0.2

To set the cloud coverage to be defined by a .csv file

EOIR */ CloudData SetValue MyConstDataSet PercentCloudCoverFile "C:\Program Files\AGI\STK 12\EOIR_Databases\Clouds\high_res_cloudmap.csv"
