[out]RhReflection coefficient for vertical polarisation.
[in]n1Refractive index of medium where radiation propagates.
[in]n2Refractive index of reflecting medium.
[in]thetaPropagation angle from normal of radiation to be. reflected

◆ refice_()

Complex refice_ ( const Numeric wavlen,
const Numeric temp 
)

Calculates complex refractive index of Ice 1H.

Valid range for wavelengths is between 45 nm and 8.6 m. For wavelengths above 167 microns, temperature dependence is included for temperatures between 213 and 272K. Mainly intended for applications in Earth ice clouds and snow, not other planets or interstellar space; the temperature dependence or crystalline form of ice may be incorrect for these latter applications.
