Calculates the specular direction of surface reflections for horisontal surfaces.

In contrast to specular_losCalc(), this method ignores the topography implied by z_surface. That is, any slope of the surface is ignored.

The typical application of this WSM should be water surfaces (lakes and oceans).

Parameters:

  • specular_los (Vector, optional) – The specular direction (for reflection by a flat surface). See specular_los, defaults to self.specular_los [OUT]

  • surface_normal (Vector, optional) – The normal vector for a point at the surface. See surface_normal, defaults to self.surface_normal [OUT]

  • rtp_pos (Vector, optional) – Position of a radiative transfer point. See rtp_pos, defaults to self.rtp_pos [IN]

  • rtp_los (Vector, optional) – Line-of-sight at a radiative transfer point. See rtp_los, defaults to self.rtp_los [IN]

  • atmosphere_dim (Index, optional) – The atmospheric dimensionality (1-3). See atmosphere_dim, defaults to self.atmosphere_dim [IN]

  • verbosity (Verbosity) – ARTS verbosity. See verbosity, defaults to self.verbosity [IN]
