question about the angle of full radiance output   Message List

Re: [HydroLightUsers] question about the angle of full radiance output

The directions in H are defined by the partitioning of all directions
into "quads", as shown in Fig 2 of the Users Guide, and as described in
section 2.4 of the Users Guide. These directions/quads are the same
above and below the sea surface. Thus, for example, if the sun is in a
particular quad above the surface, its refracted beam will be in a
different quad below the surface (for a level surface). Let me know if
this doesn't answer your question.

If I use the full radiance output setting, the angle I get is below the water or in the air or depends on the which depth I am gettting from? thanks...

So in the full radiance output file, if the radiance is just below the water surface (like say 0), the angle in that radiance table (theda and phi) should be...

Correct. Thus a direction of theta = 45 deg, phi = 90 deg, is the same direction either above or below the surface. The theta,phi coordinate system does not...
