The deviation of a ray from the great circle plane containing the point of observation and the transmitter.
Note: Such deviation can occur, for example, as a result of reflection from a tilted ionospheric layer, by reflection from a mountain or cliff or by coastal refraction.
Please note that this is the term as it stands in the original IALA Dictionary edition (1970-1989)
