Use L_b0p instead of L_bfsg for line-of-sight attenuation #13

Closed bwinkel closed 5 years ago

bwinkel commented 5 years ago

I realized that using L_bfsg as a proxy for LoS attenuation throughout the manual etc. is not ideal. While it is of course a relevant quantity, the pathprof.loss_complete function use the p% versions of the losses for everything else. The L_bfsg however is the 50% (median) LoS loss. Better suited would be L_b0p for most cases, as it is somehow more consistent with the other loss values. (L_bfsg can be higher than L_bd, which is counter-intuitive at first glance.)
