pybsm.geospatial.curved_earth_slant_range

pybsm.geospatial.curved_earth_slant_range(*, h_target: float, h_sensor: float, ground_range: float) → float

Returns the slant range from target to sensor above a curved (circular) Earth.

Parameters:

• h_target – height of the target above sea level (m)

• h_sensor – height of the sensor above sea level (m)

• ground_range – distance between the target and sensor on the ground (m)

Returns:

slant_range:

distance between the target and sensor (m)
