rte_pos2

property Workspace.rte_pos2

A second geographical position to define the geometry for radiative transfer calculations.

This variable is used when the propagation path is defined by two positions, instead of a position (rte_pos) and a line-of-sight (rte_los). That is, this variable basically replaces rte_los for the cases of consideration. In practice, rte_los is determined by finding the propagation path between rte_pos and rte_pos2.

As rte_pos with the exception that a “latitude” must also be specified for 1D. This is the angular distance to rte_pos, where this distance is defined as the 2D-“latitude”.

Usage: See above.

Units: [ m, degree, degree ]

Size: [ atmosphere_dim ]
