Workspace Method surfaceFlatSingleEmissivity
Description
Creates variables to mimic specular reflection by a (flat) surface where the emissivity is specified. As surfaceFlatVaryingEmissivity, but assumes that the emissivity does not vary with frequency. The emissivity can be defined with a a varying degree of complexity and there is no specific workspace variable defined to hold the emissivity. You have to define the 'surface_emissivity' to match your needs.
