public class SpaceControlFacilityAtmosphericRefractionModel extends AtmosphericRefractionModel
The SCF method uses different ways of determining the refraction angle, depending on the elevation. For elevation angles between 90 and 1.5 deg refraction is computed analytically,
while between 1.5 and -0.72 deg a table interpolation is performed. At the transitions between these elevation angle ranges, the SCF model may show small discontinuities in the refraction angle.
For elevation angles less than -0.72 deg, the refraction value for -0.72 deg elevation is used.
Like the ItuRP834Version4AtmosphericRefractionModel model, the model does not provide a manner for computing the refraction angle δ at the higher platform H.
The same approximation method as used by the ITU model is used for computing δ.

public SpaceControlFacilityAtmosphericRefractionModel(CentralBody centralBody)
centralBody - The central body to which the refraction model applies.protected SpaceControlFacilityAtmosphericRefractionModel(@Nonnull SpaceControlFacilityAtmosphericRefractionModel existingInstance, @Nonnull CopyContext context)
See ICloneWithContext.clone(CopyContext) for more information about how to implement this constructor
in a derived class.
existingInstance - The existing instance to copy.context - A CopyContext that controls the depth of the copy.ArgumentNullException - Thrown when existingInstance or context is null.public Object clone(CopyContext context)
This method should be implemented to call a copy constructor on the class of the
object being cloned. The copy constructor should take the CopyContext as a parameter
in addition to the existing instance to copy. The copy constructor should first call
CopyContext.addObjectMapping(T, T) to identify the newly constructed instance
as a copy of the existing instance. It should then copy all fields, using
CopyContext.updateReference(T) to copy any reference fields.
A typical implementation of ICloneWithContext:
public static class MyClass implements ICloneWithContext {
public MyClass(MyClass existingInstance, CopyContext context) {
context.addObjectMapping(existingInstance, this);
someReference = context.updateReference(existingInstance.someReference);
}
@Override
public final Object clone(CopyContext context) {
return new MyClass(this, context);
}
private Object someReference;
}
In general, all fields that are reference types should be copied with a call to
CopyContext.updateReference(T). There are a couple of exceptions:
If one of these exceptions applies, the CopyContext should be given an opportunity
to update the reference before the reference is copied explicitly. Use
CopyContext.updateReference(T) to update the reference. If CopyContext.updateReference(T) returns
the original object, indicating that the context does not have a replacement registered,
then copy the object manually by invoking a Clone method, a copy constructor, or by manually
constructing a new instance and copying the values.
alwaysCopy = context.updateReference(existingInstance.alwaysCopy);
if (existingInstance.alwaysCopy != null && alwaysCopy == existingInstance.alwaysCopy) {
alwaysCopy = (AlwaysCopy) existingInstance.alwaysCopy.clone(context);
}
If you are implementing an evaluator (a class that implements IEvaluator), the
IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) method shares some responsibilities with the
copy context constructor. Code duplication can be avoided by doing the following:
CopyContext.updateReference(T). You should still call CopyContext.updateReference(T) on any references to
non-evaluators.
IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as the last line in the constructor and pass it the
same CopyContext passed to the constructor.
IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) as normal. See the reference documentation for
IEvaluator.updateEvaluatorReferences(agi.foundation.infrastructure.CopyContext) for more information on implementing that method.

public final double getRefractionCeiling()
The maximum altitude of the lower object for which the refraction angle will be computed.

public final double getMinimumAltitude()
For platforms at low altitudes (e.g., less than 5 km), the refraction angle computed by the SCF model is a poor approximation to reality.
If the higher platform's altitude is below the minimum altitude, then the SCF model does not apply.In such cases, if ExtrapolateBelowMinimumAltitude (get / set) is set to false,
then the refraction angle is set to 0.0 deg.
public final void setMinimumAltitude(double value)
For platforms at low altitudes (e.g., less than 5 km), the refraction angle computed by the SCF model is a poor approximation to reality.

then the refraction angle is set to 0.0 deg.
public final boolean getExtrapolateBelowMinimumAltitude()
If extrapolation is enabled, then the refraction angle will still be computed when the higher platform is below the minimum altitude using a modified approach. In this approach, the higher platform H will be replaced in the computation by the point P, located along the line LH at the point where the (approximate) altitude is the minimum altitude (P will be located past H along LH).
