RT1 - bistatic scattering model for first order scattering of random media
[!CAUTION] This package is superseeded by a TUW-GEO/rt1_model!
(TUW-GEO/rt1_model provides similar functionalities but with a simplified and more robust API)
The package implements a first order scattering radiative transfer model for random volume over ground as documented in Quast & Wagner (2016) and Quast, Albergel, Calvet, Wagner (2019)
The documentation of the package is found here. (Note that the documentation is still under construction.)
Overview of the RT1 python-module structure

🏞️ rt1.volume and rt1.surface
- a collection of useful surface- and volume scattering distribution functions
🔨 rt1.rt1
- generic implementation of radiative transfer calculations for a random volume over ground
- symbolic evaluation of first-order interaction contribution estimates
⚙️ rt1.rtfits
- a flexible interface to perform parameter estimation from incidence-angle
dependent backscatter-timeseries via non-linear least-squares fitting routines. - integrates with a set of pre-defined plot-functions and interactive
widgets that can be used to quickly analyze the obtained results
- a flexible interface to perform parameter estimation from incidence-angle
:rocket: rt1.rtprocess
- a versatile interface to setup and run parallelized processing
📑 rt1.rtparse
- a configparser to set up processing-routines via .ini files
Usage
Any usage of this code is subject to the following conditions:
❗ Full compliance with the license (see LICENSE file) is given
❗ In publications or public presentations, credit should be given to the
authors by:
- citing the references below ✔️
- pointing to this github repository ✔️
Installation
For a basic install, the following line should be fine:
pip install rt1
In order to get a significant speedup in the symbolic computations and enable
NetCDF functionalities, it is recommended to install the module with the
optional dependencies symengine and xarray by using:
pip install rt1[full]
