In SeaSondeR: Radial Metrics from SeaSonde HF-Radar Data

Initialize Attributes for a SeaSondeRAPM Object

Description

This function initializes attributes for a SeaSondeRAPM object, including metadata and properties.

Usage

seasonder_initializeAttributesSeaSondeRAPM(calibration_matrix, ...)

Arguments

calibration_matrix	A 2 x b complex matrix, where b is the number of bearings for calibration.
...	Additional named attributes that may override the defaults.

Details

The function initializes the following attributes:

• quality_matrix: A 3 x b complex matrix for quality data, where b is the number of bearings.

• BEAR: A numeric vector for bearings (degrees CCW from the site bearing).

• Type: Character string for antenna pattern type.

• Creator: Object creator name. Default is an empty character vector.

• SiteName: Site name (not the same as SiteCode). Default is an empty character vector.

• SiteOrigin: Numeric vector with two elements representing the Station GPS location. Default is c(0,0).

• FileName: Default is an empty character vector.

• CreateTimeStamp: APM file creation time. Default is current system date and time.

• ProcessingSteps: Processing steps applied to this object. Default is an empty character vector.

• AmplitudeFactors: Numeric vector with two elements for the amplitude factors. Default is c(0,0).

• AntennaBearing: Site bearing (CW degrees from true north). Default is an empty numeric vector.

• StationCode: 4-character station code. Default is an empty character vector.

• BearingResolution: In degrees. Default is an empty numeric vector.

• Smoothing: Numeric vector indicating smoothing applied to the antenna pattern. Default is an empty numeric vector.

• CommentLine: Metadata lines in the data file not matching any other attribute. Default is an empty character vector.

• FileID: File's UUID. Default is an empty character vector.

• PhaseCorrections: Numeric vector with two elements for phase corrections. Default is c(0,0).

Value

A list containing initialized attributes for a SeaSondeRAPM object.
