This folder contains ARTSCAT, the ARTS spectroscopic catalogue.

ARTSCAT is presently just a converted version of the Verdandi database
created by Patrick Eriksson. Verdandi is described in README2. The
conversion from Verdandi to ARTSCAT is as direct as possible (no
information is lost or added). The conversion is made by the Matlab
function do_artscat, also found in this folder.

ARTS uses a specific format for the spectroscopic data. The line
format is described the ARTS user guide (AUG). The present version of
the line format if ARTSCAT-3.
