Workspace Variable r_geoid
Geoid radius. Geometrical altitudes are defined as the vertical distance above the geoid, and the geoid is the reference surface used when giving, for example, z_surface and z_field. The geoid is defined by giving the radius from the coordinate centre to the geoid surface for each crossing of the latitude and longitude grids. The geoid should normally be selected to be an ellipsoid but any shape is allowed. For 1D calculations, the geoid is by definition a sphere. The radius for a point between the grid crossings is obtained by linear (2D) or bi-linear (3D) interpolation of the r_geoid. For 1D cases the geoid radius is constant. See further the ARTS user guide (AUG). Use the index to find where this variable is discussed. The variable is listed as a subentry to "workspace variables". Usage: Set by using a method for a geodetic datum. Unit: m Dimensions: [ lat_grid, lon_grid ]
