seasonder_getRadarWaveNumber: Calculate the Radar Wave Number
In SeaSondeR: Radial Metrics from SeaSonde HF-Radar Data
seasonder_getRadarWaveNumber R Documentation
Calculate the Radar Wave Number
Description
This function computes the radar wave number k for a SeaSonde radar
system based on its wavelength. The wave number represents the spatial frequency
of the radar wave.
Usage
seasonder_getRadarWaveNumber(seasonder_cs_object)
Arguments
seasonder_cs_object
A SeaSondeRCS object containing the necessary data
to compute the radar wavelength.
Details
The radar wave number k is calculated using the formula:
k = \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}
where:
-
\lambda is the radar wavelength in meters, calculated using
seasonder_getRadarWaveLength.
-
2 \pi represents the relationship between the wavelength and wave number.
The wave number is an essential parameter for analyzing radar signals and
their interaction with the medium being measured.
Value
A numeric value representing the radar wave number k in
radians per meter.
See Also
seasonder_getRadarWaveLength to compute the radar wavelength.
