Fig. 10. The effect of a depth-dependent azimuth [FORMULA] on the irreducible source vector components [FORMULA]. The depth-dependence of [FORMULA] is given by Eq. (80). Same display and same atmospheric parameters as in Fig. 5. Magnetic field strength parameter [FORMULA]. The numbers near the curves are the values of [FORMULA]. Compare this figure with the corresponding case of depth-independent azimuth shown in Fig. 7. Notice that the symmetries of [FORMULA] with respect to [FORMULA] are broken by the depth-dependence of [FORMULA].
