opcsim.Nephelometer.calibrate¶

Nephelometer.calibrate(self, distribution, rh=0.0, \*\*kwargs)¶

Calibrate a Nephelometer using any AerosolDistribution.

Parameters

distribution: opcsim.AerosolDistribution: The aerosol distribution used to calibrate the Nephelometer.
rh: float: The relative humidity at which the calibration takes place. Default is 0 %.

Returns

None

Examples

Build and calibrate a Nephelometer to a simple 1-mode distribution of Ammonium Sulfate.

>>> neph = Nephelometer(wl=0.6, theta=(7., 173.))
>>>
>>> d = opcsim.AerosolDistribution("AmmSulf")
>>> d.add_mode(n=1000, gm=0.2, gsd=1.25, refr=complex(1.521, 0), rho=1.77, kappa=0.53)
>>> 
>>> neph.calibrate(d, rh=0.)
