Range of elevation angles (in degrees) used for ray-tracing. The angular resolution is fixed to 0.1 degrees. Angles will be forced between 0 and 90 degrees
Relative power distributions based on number of rays per range gate
Reflection altitude in [km]; for ground scatter this is the altitude where the ray is bent towards the ground
Reflection virtual altitude in [km]
Refractive index at reflection point (ionospheric scatter only)
Average take-off angle in scattering volume
Deviation from perpendicularity with magnetic field: a value of 0 is for perfect aspect condition, a value of 1 is one degree off aspect condition
Y-axis coordinates and range for range-time plots
Adjust ground range for the ray-paths plot. This cannot exceed 2000 km
