SFC Flag

RFM Flags: Surface-intersecting Paths

06APR24

Enabled

Disabled

Restrictions
Incompatible with TAB and ZEN Flags.

Notes
  1. The SFC flag is really just to ensure the user is aware that ray paths intersect, or might intersect, the surface (if the ray does not intersect the surface the Flag has no effect).

  2. An associated *SFC section to define surface properties is optional. In its absence the surface is assumed to be
    • Non-reflective (ie blackbody)
    • At the same temperature as the base of the atmosphere
