APPENDIX A. THE TRUNCATED GAUSSIAN DISTRIBUTION A short summary of how the Gaussian distribution is calculated is shown below and included here so it may be compared with the optimum distribution function. We take our function to be The ground radius Ro cannot be calculated by such explicit formulas as above, but must be obtained from computer runs. These runs, in which X = (lir/^RaRt is the independent variable, provide us with a table TABLE A-l Values of a2 and X for Selected Gaussian Taper Ratios.
