            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.RefractionModelSCFMethod.minimum_target_altitude`
              - Minimum altitude of target for which the refraction will be computed unless extrapolation is used. Uses Distance Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.RefractionModelSCFMethod.use_extrapolation`
              - Flag controls whether extrapolation is used past the minimum target altitude.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.RefractionModelSCFMethod.ceiling`
              - Refraction will be ignored if object altitude is higher than the ceiling. Uses Distance Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.RefractionModelSCFMethod.atmosphere_altitude`
              - Altitude of the atmosphere. Used to compute the knee bend point of the refracted path. Uses Distance Dimension.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.RefractionModelSCFMethod.knee_bend_factor`
              - Used to compute the distance to the knee bend point of the refracted path. Dimensionless.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.RefractionModelSCFMethod.use_refraction_index`
              - Flag controls whether a constant refraction index is used or the refraction polynomial fit.
            * - :py:attr:`~ansys.stk.core.stkobjects.RefractionModelSCFMethod.refraction_index`
              - Index of refraction at the surface. Dimensionless.
