As  a test I did a simple function to read the inputs:

#!/bin/sh
lon_min=-12
lon_max=0
lat_min=28
lat_max=39
R_d=167
R_i=20
function Test() {
    echo Test function: $lon_min $lon_max $lat_min $lat_max $R_d $R_i
    }
#
Test > test.txt
# test.txt -> -12 0 28 39 167 20

Still needs awk to do those fiddly bits!
