seasonder_getBraggWaveLength: Calculate the Bragg Wavelength
In SeaSondeR: Radial Metrics from SeaSonde HF-Radar Data
seasonder_getBraggWaveLength R Documentation
Calculate the Bragg Wavelength
Description
This function computes the Bragg wavelength \lambda_B for a SeaSonde radar
system. The Bragg wavelength is defined as half the radar wavelength and is used
to identify the fundamental scattering mechanisms in oceanographic radar measurements.
Usage
seasonder_getBraggWaveLength(seasonder_cs_object)
Arguments
seasonder_cs_object
A SeaSondeRCS object containing the necessary data
to compute the radar wavelength.
Details
The Bragg wavelength \lambda_B is calculated as:
\lambda_B = \frac{\lambda}{2}
where:
-
\lambda is the radar wavelength in meters, obtained using
seasonder_getRadarWaveLength.
The Bragg wavelength is a critical parameter in interpreting the resonance
scattering from the sea surface, which is fundamental to the operation of
HF radar systems.
Value
A numeric value representing the Bragg wavelength (in meters).
See Also
seasonder_getRadarWaveLength to compute the radar wavelength.
