include correction for curvature of Earth #3

Closed nmt28 closed 1 year ago

nmt28 commented 2 years ago

for maximum accuracy, a correction for Earths curvature is needed:

delta_theta = arctan(H*tan_theta/R)

where H = orbital altitude of ICESat-2 ( 496 km as a mean), and R is Earth's radius (6371 km as a mean).

See Parrish et al 2019
