In overeem11/RAINLINK: Retrieval algorithm for rainfall mapping from microwave links in a cellular communication network.

Subfunction for computing path-averaged rainfall intensities for unique link paths. A path-averaged rainfall intensity is assigned to a point at the middle of the link path.

Description

Subfunction for computing path-averaged rainfall intensities for unique link paths. The link-based, e.g. a 15-minute path-averaged rainfall accumulation is converted to a path-averaged rainfall intensity, and subsequently assigned to a point at the middle of the link path. Path-averaged rainfall intensities are obtained, so data from full-duplex links are averaged.

Usage

IntpPathToPoint(
  ID,
  LocalCartesianCoorSystem,
  Rmean,
  XEnd,
  XStart,
  YEnd,
  YStart
)

Arguments

ID	Link identifier.
LocalCartesianCoorSystem	Define EPSG code for (local) Cartesian coordinate system (meters).
Rmean	Data frame with mean path-averaged rainfall intensities (mm h^{-1}).
XEnd	Easting of end of links (km).
XStart	Easting of start of links (km).
YEnd	Northing of end of links (km).
YStart	Northing of start of links (km).

Value

Coordinates of middle of links in (local) Cartesian coordinate system (latitude, longitude) and rainfall intensity (mm h^{-1})).
