====== Brewer Python Library ======

We describe here the functions and data structured implemented in brewer.py library. A Python library to the Eubrewnet database can be found in the [[ http://eubrewnet.aemet.es/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=devel:brewerjsonpythonmodule | brewerjson module ]]. The last version of the brewer python library is available from [[http://rbcce.aemet.es/svn/python/libbrewer/|rbcce subversion repository]].

===== Installation =====

Brewer library can be imported from python code adding the path to brewer.py module to the Python path (list of directories Python goes through to search for modules and files):

  import sys
  sys.path.append("/home/to/module/")

By default the sys.path variable includes the current directory, so if brewer.py is in the same directory as the Python script, the module can be directly imported.

Alternatively, you can download brewer.py file to the standard location for third-party Python modules. This location varies by platform and by how you built/installed Python itself. Typical locations are shown in the following table:

^ Platform ^ Standard installation location ^
^ Windows | C:\PythonXY\Lib\site-packages ^
^ Unix | /usr/local/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages ^

===== Data structures =====

Functions from //brewer.py// module use four different data structures for both input and output. These structures are python dictionaries: //measure//, //uv//, //hg//, //config// and //bdaily//. These structures can be generated by using [[http://eubrewnet.aemet.es/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=devel:brewerjsonpythonmodule|brewerjson module]].

\end{displaymath}
\begin{displaymath}
\[ o3\_sl =
  \begin{cases}
    o3             & \quad \text{if } abs(sl\_r6\_tma - sl\_r6) < mindu\\
    o3 + o3\_slcor & \quad \text{if } abs(sl\_r6\_tma - sl\_r6) \geq mindu\\

=== uv_cal() ===

This function computes the UV irradiance and DUV (Diffey-weighted UV irradiance). UV irradiance is calculated from UV Brewer measurements (including uv, ux, and ua) and the Brewer responsivity determined using a calibrated light source.

DUV is the Diffey-weighted UV irradiance, or erythemal dose rate. 

\begin{displaymath}
DUV = \int_{290}^{400} \mathrm{I(\lambda)\omega(\lambda)}\,\mathrm{d}\lambda
\end{displaymath}

Where $\omega(\lambda)$ is the erythemal action spectrum defined as:

\begin{displaymath}
\[ \omega(\lambda) =
  \begin{cases}
    1             & \quad \text{if } 290 < \lambda \leq 298 \\
    10^{0.094(298-\lambda)} & \quad \text{if } 298 < \lambda \leq 329 \\
    10^{0.015(139-\lambda)} & \quad \text{if } 329 < \lambda \leq 400 \\
    0 & \quad \text{if } \lambda < 400 \\
  \end{cases}
\]
\end{displaymath}

A correction is included in the erythemal action spectrum to account for the interval up to 400nm not measured by the Brewer.

DUV value is typically up to 250 mW/m². It can be arbitrarily divided by 25 mW/m² to generate the UVI (Ultraviolet index), which takes values from 0 to 11, although it can reach higher values. 


**Example**
    brewer.uv_cal(uv,uvr)

This function returns the input //uv// structure, adding the //'irradiance'// and //'duv'// fields.

==== Airmass ====

^ Function ^ Short Description ^
^ [[devel:brewerpythonmodule#brewer_airmass|brewer_airmass()]]| Returns the air mass calculated for a delta layer at a fixed altitude.  ^


=== brewer_airmass() ===

This function returns the air mass calculated for a delta layer at a fixed altitude, as is described in [[http://www.kippzonen.com/Download/207/Brewer-MkIII-Operator-s-Manual-for-Single-Board|Brewer MkIII - Operator's Manual]]:

\begin{displaymath} 
  airmass=\frac{1}{cos(asin(k * sin(\frac{za * \pi}{180})))}
\end{displaymath}
\begin{displaymath} 
  k=\frac{R_e}{R_e+z}
\end{displaymath}

where $za$ is a the zenith angle, $z$ is the delta layer height, and $R_e$ = 6370 is the radius of earth in km.

This function is typically used considering a layer at an altitude of 22 km for ozone air mass, and a layer at an altitude of 5 km for Rayleigh air mass.

    brewer.brewer_airmass(za,z)

The input parameter //'za'// is a //float// with the solar/moon zenith angle in degrees. //'z'// is a //float// that represents the layer height in km.

==== Data Reduction ====

^ Function ^ Short Description ^

^ [[devel:brewerpythonmodule#deadtime_cor|deadtime_cor()]] | Returns a list with the dead time corrected measurements. ^
^ [[devel:brewerpythonmodule#temp_cor|temp_cor()]] | Returns a list with the temperature corrected measurements. ^
^ [[devel:brewerpythonmodule#attenuation_cor|attenuation_cor()]] | Returns a list with the filter attenuation corrected measurements. ^


=== darkcount_cor() ===

This function subtracts the dark count from raw data, then scales the result to produce count rates, in counts per second:

\begin{displaymath} 
    f_{out}[i] = \frac{2*(f[i]- dark )}{cycles*it}
\end{displaymath}

**Example**
    brewer.darkcount_cor(f,dark,cycles,it)

The input parameter //f// is a list of five //integers// with the raw measurements. //dark// is a //float// with the dark count value. //cycles// is an //integer// with the number of cycles for each measurement. //it// is a //float// with the slit sampling time.

The //darkcount_cor()// function returns a list with the dark count corrected measurements in counts per second.


=== deadtime_cor() ===

This function compensates for the dead time, assuming a Poisson distribution function of a paralyzable detection system. The method iterates 9 times the equation:

\begin{displaymath} 
    f_{out}[i] = f[i] * e^{f_{out}[i]*t1}
\end{displaymath}

The deadtime-compensated count rates are normalized by computing the base ten logarithm of e, then scaled by 10000, thus allowing integer arithmetic.

This function is typically applied after dark count correction.

**Example**
    brewer.deadtime_cor(f,t1)

The input parameter //f// is a list of five //floats// with the measurements. //t1// is a //float// with the deadtime of the photon-counting system.

The //deadtime_cor()// function returns a list with the dead time corrected measurements in counts per second.


=== temp_cor() ===

This function compensates for temperature-dependent characteristics of the spectrometer assembly:

\begin{displaymath} 
    f_{out}[i] = f[i] + (tc[i] * t)
\end{displaymath}

This function is typically applied after dead time correction.

**Example**
    brewer.temp_cor(f,t,tc)

The input parameter //f// is a list of five //floats// with the measurements. //tc// is list of five //floats// with the temperature coefficients. //t// is a //float// with the temperature of the system in Celsius degrees.

The //temp_cor()// function returns a list with the temperature corrected measurements in counts per second.


=== attenuation_cor() ===

This function compensates for attenuation of the neutral-density filters used to adjust the light level entering the spectrometer:

\begin{displaymath} 
    f_{out}[i] = f[i] + af[fp]
\end{displaymath}

This function is typically applied after temperature correction.

**Example**
    brewer.attenuation_cor(f,af,fp)

The input parameter //f// is a list of five //floats// with the measurements. //taf// is list of six //floats// with the attenuation values of the neutral-density filters. //fp// is an //integer// with the filter position.
