#' contribute negatively to \code{mtr}. Therefore \code{mtr} can be both
#' positive or negative, depending on the definition of alpha.
#'
#' Note that \code{mtr} for a given value of \code{alpha} can also be calculated from
#' the vertically integrated density \code{vid} and the height-integrated velocity
#' components \code{u} and \code{v} as follows:
#'
#' \deqn{mtr = 3.6 (u \sin(alpha pi/180) + v \cos(alpha pi/180)) vid}{mtr = 3.6 (u \sin(alpha pi/180) + v \cos(alpha pi/180)) vid}
#'
#' Formula for reflectivity traffic rate \code{rtr} are found by replacing
#' \code{dens} with \code{eta} in the formula for \code{mtr}.
#' \code{dens} with \code{eta} and \code{vid} with \code{vir} in the formula for \code{mtr}.
#' Reflectivity traffic rate gives the cross-sectional area
#' passing the radar per km transect perpendicular to the migratory direction per hour.
#' \code{mtr} values are conditional on settings of \link{rcs}, while \code{rtr} values are not.
