SRFM documentation

Welcome the the Scattering Reference Forward Model (SRFM) documentation. This package is designed to manage satellite data and perform retrievals. It combines Python tooling with compiled Fortran extensions for radiative transfer.

The package was built and is maintained by Antonin Knizek as part of code belonging to the Earth Observation Data Group and the University of Oxford. For more info, comments or to leave feedback, please contact antonin.knizek@physics.ox.ac.uk or contact the EODG group.
