Caption: Figure 1.

Left: the coordinate systems of (rθ) and (p, z). rphoto is the photosphere, r1 and r1 + Δr are the inner and outer radii of the molecular shell, respectively, and rj is some arbitrary radius. These locations coincide with the equivalent velocities in the right panel. Right: a cartoon graphic of how MOFAT works. The molecular clumps have semiaxes of rc and ra with a density enhancement factor of fc. When we integrate along pj, the ray will have a certain probability (P, yellow star) of hitting a clump at vj. The effects of the clump are then included, and are based on the chord length s. See Appendix A for descriptions of variables and implementation.
