Sketch showing the geometrical quantities involved in solving the radiative transfer equation in the initial and perturbed atmospheres. We zoomed around the atmospheric layers located between rmin and rmax where the plane-parallel approximation is justified. Red lines and symbols show the quantities in the background model while the perturbed quantities are presented in blue.
