I think sea-level makes the most sense (and is probably what anybody would expect it to be). We should change the Field description to say that it is that explicitly.
This also makes me notice that we need to add the site location into the instrument.SubarrayDescription
(not just in the MC header, since it needs to be there for real data files as well)
This goes together with the additional atmospheric profile for La Palma (https://github.com/cta-observatory/ctapipe-extra/issues/24)
The estimation of h_max in HillasReconstructor: https://github.com/cta-observatory/ctapipe/blob/cc215e2f7233973ff1b604f90c96ac8cea447fcd/ctapipe/reco/HillasReconstructor.py#L333 is giving a result wrt the array observation level. Should we have this number with respect to the sea level? I used the same piece of code used in the hillas_intersector and inside ImPACT to convert the output of the HillasReconstructor (here called
reco_hillas
) to the "corrected" one:and this is what i obtain for a huge event, with a good h_max reconstruction (21 telescopes from gamma, Paranal, z20):
We correct it or we leave as it is, specifying that it's wrt the array observation level?
