Compartment Angle graphic file with name v1.jpg graphic file with name uN.jpg graphic file with name v2.jpg graphic file with name uP.jpg graphic file with name v3.jpg
Deep Elevation 69.3 ± 2.3 48.2A ± 1.5 −20.2 ± 2.3 −41.4B ± 1.6 −0.6 ± 1.7
Azimuth 34.8 ± 4.7 40.5 ± 6.2 37.1 ± 3.8 42.6 ± 5.6 −53.1 ± 3.6
Superficial Elevation 66.1 ± 6.6 40.4A ± 1.7 −21.4 ± 6.7 −42.8B ± 2.0 −0.9 ± 2.7
Azimuth −144.9 ± 7.7 −105.8 ± 18.3 −135.7 ± 3.7 −91.6C ± 16.8 −44.7 ± 2.7

All angles are given in degrees. Superscripts denote levels of statistical significance. Figure 8 provides a graphical illustration of the data for εN, εP, Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic, and Inline graphic and a depiction of the sign conventions for the elevation and azimuth angles.
