Description of items in PBMOD Bubble Output page

The evolution of the multiple bubbles generally expected is described here by a two-dimensional model rather than the more computationally intensive three-dimensional model [Retterer, JGR 2010]. The structure in the equatorial plane is calculated explicitly, while the densities off the equator are assumed to vary as the ambient model density does.
