#      function of impact parameter from excess phase as a function of time.

# ---------------------------------

# GMSIS - use MSIS climatology bending angle (searching global MSIS profiles
#         for best fit profile to obs) in ionospheric correction, 
#         statistical optimization and bending angle to refractivity inversion.

#         statistical optimization and bending angle to refractivity inversion.
#
# BARO - use BAROCLIM bending angle in ionospheric correction, 
#        statistical optimization and bending angle to refractivity inversion.
#
# BG   - use climatology from a specified input file containing 
#        background temperature, pressure and humidity 
#        (e.g. from an NWP analysis). The input filename can be specified 
#        using the '-bfile' command line argument or setting 'bfile' (see 1.5).
#
# NONE - linear combination of L1 and L2 bending angles in ionospheric 
#        correction, no additional information above observed profile top
#        in the inverse Abel to compute refractivity.

#        observation levels. This algorithm is used in ROM SAF NRT processing
#

#        observation levels. This algorithm is used in ropp_fm module.

# standard grid.

# 4. Model bending angle profile fit to observations
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# To avoid systematic deviations from the observed profile with climatology,
# the model profile is scaled to the observed profile by a fitting method.

#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 6. Bending angle inversion to refractivity
