1.19. The correct derivation of the formula to compute the true column density for inclined trajectories leads to the Chapman function (Chapman, 1931). The Chapman function gives the ratio of the total amount of matter along an oblique trajectory subtending a zenith angle θ versus the amount ...

In such a method azimuth will be proportional to angle of frame rotation, determined by acceleration meters. Azimuth is calculated from received data. To avoid azimuth error near critical plane, azimuth calculation is performed on basis of two given mathematical expressions. Then difference between ...
This, however, is an artifact of perspective; on the actual surface, as seen by an observer located above a particular corner, the meridian and the great circle intersecting at that corner appear to be straight lines which cross at an angle very close to 90°+α, or 92.6° in the ...
conditions, weak electron precipitation can drive ion outflow with small averaged fluxes (~ 107cm−2s−1). The slopes of relations between the Poynting fluxes and outflowing ion number fluxes show no clear dependence on the solar zenith angle. Intense ion outflow events (> 108cm−2s...
causes a threefold splitting up of the incident bundle. This causes two additional foci P+and P-on either side of P. The angle θ between the central rays proceeding to P+and P (or P-and P) respectively is given by the well-known formula ##EQU1## where λ is the wavelength of the...
as indicated by FIG. 9. The origin--at center 122--is in coincidence with the horizontal centerline 42 of the cathode ray tube 10. The distance R, or radius, in meters between the center 122 of the cabinet 12 and the perimeter of the planes is determined by the formula R=L/2+0.5m...
(2): (2)STD=ZTDcosθi,where θi is the incidence angle of the radar signal for the resolution cell i, and STD is the slant total delay (STD). Finally, using Eq. (3), we can convert the STD map from pseudo-range to phase delay, ϕtrop. (3)ϕtrop=−4πλSTD,where λ ...
According to Boehm [44], if the cutoff elevation angle is low, such as 5°, and the error of hydrostatic zenith delay is then mapped with the wrong mapping function (wet and hydrostatic mapping functions’ errors are both considered), a proportional relation of approximately 0.12 between the ...
The SCD represents the integrated concentration of the target species along the effective atmospheric light path, which depends on the solar zenith angle (SZA) for scattered sunlight measurements of stratospheric trace gases. Therefore, the SCD is usually converted to the vertical column density (VCD...
