SurfaceScatter

class rt1_model.surface.SurfaceScatter(ncoefs=None, a=None)

Abstract base class for use as surface scattering distribution.

Parameters:

• ncoefs (int) – Number of coefficients used for the Legendre-approximation.

• a ([ float , float , float ] , optional (default = [1.,1.,1.])) – Generalized scattering angle parameters used for defining the scattering angle of the distribution function. For more details, see: https://rt1-model.rtfd.io/en/latest/theory.html#equation-general_scat_angle
