65 B. Pointing geometry The function sitegeom1.m computes and plots elevation, azimuth, range and the beam intersection angle χ at the specified site, for Tromsø vertical, field-aligned and CP2 pointing schemes. The pointing info for several prospective and current sites are shown Fig. 36–41. The program calls the official EISCAT geometry package geom (standard EISCAT filesystem location /kst/eros4/geom) to perform the geometry computations, so this directory must be on the Matlab path. The package has been modified to allow the standard EISCAT ESR site to be replaced by an arbitrary site. The geometry package version 1.4 or higher contains these modifications.
