CARMApy’s documentation

CARMApy is a python wrapper of the Community Aerosol and Radiation Model for Atmospheres (CARMA), originally developed by Turco et al. (1979) and Toon et al. (1979). carmapy specifically wraps exoCARMA, a version of CARMA developed by Gao et al. (2018) and Powell et al. (2018) to model clouds on exoplanets.
