SNR90 was specifically defined as the signal-to-noise ratio at 90% reliability. SNRxx is the SNR at the user’s specified required reliability. Now you can make maps at any reliability value you wish. The user is warned that VOACAP behaves strangely when attempting to calculate maps of SNR90. Be sure to use SNRxx.
