mblock_dlos

property Workspace.mblock_dlos

The set of angular pencil beam directions for each measurement block.

The relative angles in this variable are angular off-sets with respect to the angles in sensor_los. Defined as dlos but is allowed to only have a single column, as described below.

The first column holds the relative zenith angle. This column is mandatory for all atmospheric dimensionalities. For 3D, there can also be a second column, giving relative azimuth angles. If this column is not present (for 3D) zero azimuth off-sets are assumed.

Usage: Set by the user or output of antenna WSMs.

Unit: degrees
