surface_normal

property Workspace.surface_normal

The normal vector for a point at the surface.

The vector is given as a zenith and azimuth (the later only for 3D) angle, following the definition of line-of-sights. For example, this vector is always [0] for 1D, as there is no surface topography for this atmospheric dimensionality.

Units: degrees

Size: [ 1 or 2 ]
