ObsErrorFactorTransmitTopRad

This obsfunction calculates the observation error inflation factor for satellite radiances as a function of model top-to-space transmittance.

The Error Inflation Factor (EIF) is calculated as \(EIF = \sqrt{ 1.0 / \tau }\), where \(\tau\) is the model top-to-space transmittance.

Required input parameters:

channels
