Asking Questions

If you are reasonably sure that the User's and Reference Guides do not address your question or problem, then you should send a message detailing the issue. If it is a problem with compiling the program, make sure you include information on your compiler and computer (mainly the type of operating system and brand of compiler). If the program crashes, you should also provide any relevant input files (Streamer or FluxNet only).

Keep in mind that the software is provided "as is". While we will attempt to answer questions as quickly and completely as possible, support for the tools and data at this site is not our priority.

Concerning problems and issues with Streamer, please do not contact the DISORT authors unless you are absolutely sure that it is a DISORT issue and can duplicate the problem with a stand-alone version of DISORT. In other words, if it has anything to do with Streamer, contact us first.
