Assuming el is cell variable with a matrix of 30 X 3300 being rows and colums.
for PRN =1:30
for t = 1:3300
M_d(PRN,t)= 1/(sin(el(PRN,t))+(0.00143/tan(el(PRN, t))+0.0445));
M_w(PRN, t)=1/(sin(el)+(0.00035/tan(el)+0.017));
end
end
The error i had.
Check for incorrect argument data type or missing argument in call to function 'sin'.

Oh, it worked. Thanks for pointing that out.

Could you confirm that each entry in the cell is a numeric scalar? Your code will fail otherwise.
If it is a numeric scalar then use cell2mat and simple vectorized numeric calculations. Remember to switch from / to ./

If the value is stores in a cell, then you should write
el{PRN,t}
in order to extract the value as a double.
