Notes. The main blob characteristics are the associated free-electron density enhancement Ne,fac, the blob central velocity Vblob, and the characteristic velocity extent of the blob δVblob (see Sect. 3 and Eq. (1) for details). These are combined with the unadulterated model x1p5 to form a 2D hybrid model characterized by a chosen blob half-opening angle β (see Sect. 3 for details).
