Maximum vertical reflectivity

Description


2D map containing the maximum reflectivity present in the vertical column over each surface point (ground view). In addition and optionally, the maximum reflectivity taken along a set of horizontal planes at different altitudes and along specified directions can be given (side-walls).

Notes

• It is assumed that the level slicing used for the side-walls intensity is the same than for the ground map.
• For side-walls, if the height increment is constant then the vertical spacing is given instead of specifying the sequence of height values.
• If side-walls are present, then their number, orientation and height sequence are omitted.
