I don't suppose this issue came up during the developer telecon?
Hi Evan,
You are right. We discussed all the pull requests and didn't have enough time to go through all the issues during the developer telecon.
Apologies @egthomas that this was never addressed or fixed. One of davitpy's many flaws. Closing this issue now at the repo is being deprecated.
I have a concern with the function
gsMapSlantRange
added in commit 6feea98 toradFov.py
. I'm not sure that Bristow et al. [1994]'s range calculation is applicable here. The equation in that paper is solving for the ground range to the ionospheric reflection point (D
) and not the slant range to the reflection point (R/2
).I'm also not convinced the equation in that paper is even correct for solving the ground range to the ionospheric reflection point of a ground scatter echo, but that's another matter.
