How can I change the height of the arc shape in Vega?

[Aigerim]

I am currently developing a visualization using Vega version 5 for OpenSearch. My data and reference materials are sourced from the Vega project on GitHub. The editor I use: https://vega.github.io/ .

I want to adjust the height of an arc mark in my visualization. By ‘height,’ I am referring to the vertical span of the arc, not its position along the y-axis. I want to control the vertical distance from the peak of the arc to the point where it intersects the x-axis. How can I customize this aspect of the arc within my Vega specification?

Please let me know if it is possible to change the default parameters of the shapes in Vega.
