Near-field correction of Downing et al (1995)

Description

Computes dimensionless near-field correction

Usage

near_field_correction(freq, c, r, at)

Arguments

freq	Frequency of sound (Hz)
c	Speed of sound in water (m/s)
r	range to cell center measured along-beam (m)
at	Radius of ADCP transducer (m)

Value

Near-field correction (dimensionless)

Warning

See various references cautioning use of near-field correction (e.g., https://doi.org/10.1002/2016WR019695)
