channel_radiance2bt

SRF.channel_radiance2bt(L)[source]

Convert channel radiance to brightness temperature

Using the lookup table, convert channel radiance to brightness temperature. Will construct lookup table on first call.

Typhon also registers a pint context “radiance” which can be used to convert between radiance units and brightness temperature (even though this is a different quantity), for example, by using L.to(“K”, “radiance”, srf=srf)

Parameters: L – Radiance [W m^-2 sr^-1 Hz^-1] or compatible
