Table 2: Differences between COG values of RF-predicted and calculated path length distributions. Values are presented for cases of waves excited by p-modes with inclinations, $\psi $, of 0$^\circ $, 40$^\circ $, 50$^\circ $, and 60$^\circ $ from the vertical. Note that in the case of vertical propagation ($\psi =0$$^\circ $) there is no distiction between ingressing or egressing forms of fast-mode waves, hence only one value is provided. When sampling a low plasma-$\beta $ environment the Alfvén and slow-mode waves are field aligned, remaining invariant to changes in the originating p-mode inclination: values are not provided for these two wave modes in the flux-tube reference frame due to their large magnitude and obvious incorrectness.
