seasonder_setSeaSondeRCS_FOR_MAXP: Set Maximum Power (MAXP) for First Order Region (FOR)

In SeaSondeR: Radial Metrics from SeaSonde HF-Radar Data

Set Maximum Power (MAXP) for First Order Region (FOR)

Description

This function assigns the computed maximum power values (MAXP) for each range cell in the First Order Region (FOR) to the SeaSondeRCS object.

Usage

seasonder_setSeaSondeRCS_FOR_MAXP(seasonder_cs_object, FOR_MAXP)

Arguments

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

Details

The maximum power (MAXP) represents the highest spectral power detected in the first-order region. This value is extracted from the self-spectra and used for setting first-order boundaries.

Validation Considerations:

• The function does not currently perform explicit validation on FOR_MAXP.

• Future improvements should ensure that FOR_MAXP contains numeric values corresponding to each range cell.

Value

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