act.retrievals.sum_function_irt(temperature, inTotal, units='cm', rf=None, rf_wnum=None)[source]#

Function to calculate radiance values from temperature.

Parameters:

  • temperature (float) – Temperature value to convert to radiance value for comparison.

  • inTotal (float) – Radiance value to compare to converted temperature value to find inverted minimum.

Returns:

float – Difference between temperatrue value converte to radiance and the radiance value.
