seasonder_getSeaSondeRCS_FOR_SS_Smoothed: Retrieve Smoothed Self-Spectra for First Order Region (FOR)

In SeaSondeR: Radial Metrics from SeaSonde HF-Radar Data

Retrieve Smoothed Self-Spectra for First Order Region (FOR)

Description

This function retrieves the smoothed self-spectra (SS) matrix stored in the FOR_data attribute of a SeaSondeRCS object. The smoothed self-spectra are used in First Order Region (FOR) processing to refine the detection of the first-order boundaries.

Usage

seasonder_getSeaSondeRCS_FOR_SS_Smoothed(seasonder_cs_object)

Arguments

seasonder_cs_object

A SeaSondeRCS object containing smoothed self-spectra data.

Details

The function extracts the matrix assigned by seasonder_setSeaSondeRCS_FOR_SS_Smoothed. If no smoothed self-spectra are found, the function returns NULL.

The smoothed self-spectra are typically generated using seasonder_SmoothSS and applied to the self-spectra of antenna 3. This smoothing aids in detecting the nulls that separate first- and second-order regions.

Value

A matrix representing the smoothed self-spectra, or NULL if no smoothed data is stored.
