     Parameters
     ----------
     az : float
-        Azimuth clockwise from north (degrees)
+        Azimuth measured clockwise from North.
     elev : float
-        Elevation angle above horizon, neglecting aberrations (degrees)
+        Elevation  with respect to the xEast-yNorth plane.
     slant_range : float
-        slant range [meters]
-    deg : bool, optional
-        Degrees input/output (False: radians in/out)
+        Distance from local origin.
+    deg : bool, defaullt: True
+        If True, angles are given in degrees. Otherwise, they are in radians.
