Parameters:

• ray_path (ArrayOfPropagationPathPoint, optional) – A list path points making up a propagation path. See ray_path, defaults to self.ray_path [OUT]

• atmospheric_field (AtmField, optional) – An atmospheric field in ARTS. See atmospheric_field, defaults to self.atmospheric_field [IN]

• surface_field (SurfaceField, optional) – The surface field. See surface_field, defaults to self.surface_field [IN]

• latitude (Numeric, optional) – A single latitude. See latitude, defaults to self.latitude [IN]

• longitude (Numeric, optional) – A single longitude. See longitude, defaults to self.longitude [IN]

• max_stepsize (Numeric, optional) – A control parameter for stepping through layers in ray tracing. See max_stepsize, defaults to self.max_stepsize [IN]
