* ''R<sub>geo</sub>'' is the geometric major radius, defined as ''(R<sub>max</sub> + R<sub>min</sub>)/2''.
* ''R<sub>geo</sub>'' is the geometric major radius, defined as ''(R<sub>max</sub> + R<sub>min</sub>)/2''.
* ''a'' is the minor radius of the plasma, defined as ''(R<sub>max</sub> - R<sub>min</sub>)/2''.
* ''a'' is the minor radius of the plasma, defined as ''(R<sub>max</sub> - R<sub>min</sub>)/2''.
* ''R<sub>upper</sub>'' is the major radius of the highest vertical point of the LCFS.
* ''R<sub>upper</sub>'' is the major radius of the highest vertical point of the LCFS or separatrix.
* ''R<sub>lower</sub>'' is the major radius of the lowest vertical point of the LCFS.
* ''R<sub>lower</sub>'' is the major radius of the lowest vertical point of the LCFS or separatrix.
The upper triangularity is then defined as follows:
The upper triangularity is then defined as follows:
:<math> \delta_{upper} = (R_{geo}-R_{upper})/a</math>
:<math> \delta_{upper} = (R_{geo}-R_{upper})/a</math>
