      1 # High-Tune: Sky
      2 
      3 This C library loads and manages the data describing a vertically
      4 stratified atmosphere, neglecting Earth's sphericity. The physical
      5 properties of 3D clouds are also supported.
      6 
      7 ## Requirements
      8 
      9 - C compiler with OpenMP support
     10 - POSIX make
     11 - pkg-config
     12 - [High-Tune: Cloud Properties](https://gitlab.com/meso-star/htcp)
     13 - [High-Tune: Gas Optical Properties](https://gitlab.com/meso-star/htgop)
     14 - [High-Tune: Mie](https://gitlab.com/meso-star/htmie)
     15 - [RSys](https://gitlab.com/vaplv/rsys)
     16 - [Star VoXel](https://gitlab.com/meso-star/star-vx)
     17 
     18 ## Installation
     19 
     20 Edit config.mk as needed, then run:
     21 
     22     make clean install

     24 ## Release notes
     25 
     26 ### Version 0.3.1
     27 
     28 - Fix invalid memory read for clouds with irregular Z dimensions. This
     29   bug was triggered by clouds that were taller than they were wide, i.e.
     30   with the largest Z dimension. It caused a crash when accessing an
     31   out-of-bounds cell in the data structure used to speed up cloud
     32   indexing. In other situations, i.e.  when clouds were wider than they
     33   were high, it had no impact on calculations.
     34 
     35 ### Version 0.3
     36 
     37 - Replace CMake by Makefile as build system.
     38 - Update compiler and linker flags to increase the security and
     39   robustness of generated binaries.
     40 - Provide a pkg-config file to link the library as an external
     41   dependency.
     42 
     43 ### Version 0.2.2
     44 
     45 - Correction of compilation errors due to API breaks in Star-VoXel 0.2.
     46 - Correction of invalid memory writes.
     47 
     48 ### Version 0.2.1
     49 
     50 - Fix the acceleration data structures: the Kmin and Kmax stored in the
     51   hierarchical trees could be wrong for cloud fields with data
     52   irregularly structured along the Z axis.
     53 
     54 ### Version 0.2
     55 
     56 - Make uniform the sky setup in shortwave and in longwave. On sky
     57   creation, the caller now defines the type of the spectral data to
     58   handle (i.e.  shortwave or longwave) and their wavelength range. The
     59   `double wlen_lw_range[2]` member variable of the `struct htsky_args`
     60   data structure is thus renamed in `double wlen_range[2]` and is used
     61   in both cases. Finally the new member variable `enum
     62   htsky_spectral_type spectral_type` defines the type of this spectral
     63   range.
     64 - Add the `htsky_get_raw_spectral_bounds` function that returns the
     65   spectral range of the loaded sky data overlapped by the user define
     66   wavelength range.
     67 
     68 ### Version 0.1
     69 
     70 - Add longwave support. Add the `double wlen_lw_range[2]` member
     71   variable to the `struct htsky_args` data structure that, once
     72   correctly defined, is used to setup the sky data for the provided long
     73   wave range. By default this range is degenerated meaning that the sky
     74   is setup for the short wave range [380, 780] nm.
     75 - Add the `htsky_find_spectral_band` function: it returns the spectral
     76   band that includes the submitted wavelength.
     77 - Remove the `htsky_sample_sw_spectral_data_CIE_1931_<X|Y|Z>` functions
     78   that explicitly rely on the CIE XYZ color space.
     79 - Add the
     80   `htsky_fetch_per_wavelength_particle_phase_function_asymmetry_parameter`
     81   that returns the Henyey-Greenstein phase function parameter for a
     82   given wavelength.
