Intercomparison of non-LTE radiative transfer codes

Limb infrared spectra calculated by the KOPRA, GENLN2, RFM, and SPIRT radiative transfer algorithms were intercompared with special emphasis on non-local thermodynamic equilibrium emission. The overall agreement is usually better than approximately 0.5 percent except for single phenomena which have...
