Calculates the specular direction of surface reflections for horisontal surfaces.
In contrast to
specular_losCalc()
, this method ignores the topography implied byz_surface
. That is, any slope of the surface is ignored.The typical application of this WSM should be water surfaces (lakes and oceans).
