This setup has only been used by Patricia and myself. It has been modified (see below), mainly to calculate fewer tangent heights.
Scan | solar zenith angle | relative azimuth angle | earth radius |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 77.77 | 22.23 | 6357.5 |
2 | 47.30 | 34.41 | 6364.9 |
3 | 28.71 | 67.56 | 6374.9 |
4 | 26.84 | 96.47 | 6377.7 |
5 | 52.88 | 142.55 | 6370.9 |
Rayleigh coefficients are provided on levels. Important: they have to be averaged for layers!!!!
