"""
Handles potential refraction into the firn if necessary.
Returns the zenith angle at the antenna and the fresnel coefficients t for theta (parallel)

This function considers the following three cases:
* A refraction into the firm is simulated if the signal is coming from above,
the antenna is below the surface (= has a negative z-coordinate), and
`station.is_cosmic_ray()` is True.
* A refraction from firm to air is simulated when the signal is coming from below and
the antenna is above the surface.
* No refraction is simulated if non of the aferomentioned conditions apply.
.. warning::
For deeper channels this function might be inacccurate. Consider using raytracing.
This function uses the flag `station.is_cosmic_ray()` instead of checking whether the
electric field is at the position of the antenna.
