Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2018 1:15 pm
SMART-G (Speed-Up Monte Carlo Advanced Radiative Transfer using GPU) is an advanced radiative transfer code. Initially co-developed by HYGEOS for CNES to simulate how the light propagates in the atmosphere and ocean, SMART-G is now continuously upgraded by HYGEOS.
Features:
Features:
- Monte Carlo solver
- Accounts for light polarization
- Works in plane parallel or spherical geometry
- GPU accelerated using the CUDA framework (massively parallel processing)
- Accounts for reflection/transmission by a wind-roughened sea surface, including wave shadowing effects
- Accounts for adjacency effects
- Multispectral processing
- Coded in python + pycuda
