Facts

Purpose
PythonicDISORT solves the one-dimensional radiative transfer equation for single- or multi-layer plane-parallel atmospheres.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Implementation
The project describes itself as coded entirely in Python 3 and based on Stamnes’ FORTRAN DISORT.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Outputs
Its solver computes fluxes and can optionally compute intensity.pythonic-disort.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
Radiative transfer features
The documented solver supports optional delta-M scaling and Nakajima-Tanaka intensity corrections.pythonic-disort.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
Boundary conditions
Optional inputs include bidirectional reflectance Fourier modes, boundary sources, and isotropic internal sources.pythonic-disort.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
Differentiation
When autograd is installed and compatibility is enabled, it can compute tau derivatives of output functions, with slightly lower efficiency.pythonic-disort.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
Installation
The package can be installed from PyPI or Conda-Forge, or by cloning its repository.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Dependencies
The listed runtime requirements are Python 3.8 or later, NumPy 1.8.0 or later, and SciPy 1.8.0 or later.pypi.org · 5 Oct 2026
Optional integrations
Autograd is optional for derivatives; Jupyter, Notebook, and Matplotlib are listed as optional requirements for the comprehensive notebook.pypi.org · 5 Oct 2026
Platform compatibility
The project says it should be system agnostic given its minimal dependencies and pure Python code, and that the repository was built and tested on Windows 11.pypi.org · 5 Oct 2026
Notable limit
Only the first NFourier bidirectional reflectance Fourier modes are used; additional modes are ignored.pythonic-disort.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
License
The GitHub repository lists an MIT license.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Documentation and audience
The documentation recommends that new users read the non-optional parts of sections 1 and 2, which cover parameter choices and modules and outputs.pythonic-disort.readthedocs.io · 5 Oct 2026
