a (l1, b1) and (l2, b2) are the heliographic longitude and latitude relative to Sun center of the two footpoints of the loop. $\alpha$ is the azimuth angle of the loop baseline to the east-west direction. $\theta$ is the inclination angle of the loop plane to the vertical. h0 is the height of the ellipse's (or circle's) center measured in the loop plane. a and b are half lengths of the elliptical axes lying parallel and perpendicular to the loop footpoint baseline, respectively; r is the radius of the circular loop. L is the length of the loop.
