GARLIC - the Generic Atmospheric Radiation Line-by-line IR Code for exoplanet atmospheric spectroscopy

Kurzfassung

The Generic Atmospheric Radiation Line-by-line Infrared Code or GARLIC has originally been developed for Earth atmospheric remote sensing and, more recently, has been used extensively for exoplanet studies. The core of GARLIC's subroutines constitutes the basis of forward models used to implement inversion codes to retrieve atmospheric state parameters from limb and nadir sounding instruments. GARLIC has been verified in several intercomparison studies and validated against spectra observed on Earth and from Venus. In this presentation we briefly review GARLIC's basics and show examples from recent studies using GARLIC.
