pyrex.ray_tracing.SpecializedRayTracePath.z_integral

SpecializedRayTracePath.z_integral(integrand, integrand_kwargs={}, numerical=False)

Calculate the integral of the given integrand.

For the integrand as a function of z, the analytic or numerical integral is calculated along the ray path.

Parameters

integrandfunction

Function returning the values of the integrand at a given array of values for the depth z.

integrand_kwargsdict, optional

A dictionary of keyword arguments to be passed into the integrand function.

numericalboolean, optional

Whether to use the numerical integral instead of an analytic one. If False the analytic integral is calculated. If True the numerical integral is calculated.

Returns

float

The value of the integral along the ray path.

Raises

TypeError

If the ice model is not valid for the specialized analytic integrations.
