seasonder_setSeaSondeRCS_FOR_MAXP.bin: Set Maximum Power Bin Indices for First Order Region (FOR)

In SeaSondeR: Radial Metrics from SeaSonde HF-Radar Data

Set Maximum Power Bin Indices for First Order Region (FOR)

Description

This function assigns the Doppler bin indices corresponding to the maximum power (MAXP.bin) for each range cell in the First Order Region (FOR) to the SeaSondeRCS object.

Usage

seasonder_setSeaSondeRCS_FOR_MAXP.bin(seasonder_cs_object, FOR_MAXP.bin)

Arguments

seasonder_cs_object	A SeaSondeRCS object to which the MAXP.bin values will be assigned.
FOR_MAXP.bin	A list containing the Doppler bin indices of the maximum power for each range cell.

Details

The maximum power bin (MAXP.bin) represents the Doppler bin index at which the highest spectral power was detected in the first-order region. This information is used to refine first-order boundary detection.

Validation Considerations:

• The function does not currently validate the format of FOR_MAXP.bin.

• Future improvements should ensure that FOR_MAXP.bin consists of integer values corresponding to Doppler bins.

Value

The updated SeaSondeRCS object with the MAXP.bin values stored in the FOR_data attribute.
