Input Files for OASR

The input data are structured in 9 blocks. The first 5 blocks, shown in Table 1, specify the title, options, environmental parameters, together with the desired grazing angle and frequency sampling. The last 4 blocks, outlined in Tables 1 and 2, contain axis specifications for the graphical output. Some of these blocks should always be included and others only if certain options have been specified. The single blocks and parameters are described in detail in the following.
