seasonder_getBraggWaveLength {SeaSondeR} | R Documentation |
Calculate the Bragg Wavelength
Description
This function computes the Bragg wavelength \lambda_B
for a SeaSonde radar
system. The Bragg wavelength is defined as half the radar wavelength and is used
to identify the fundamental scattering mechanisms in oceanographic radar measurements.
Usage
seasonder_getBraggWaveLength(seasonder_cs_object)
Arguments

Details
The Bragg wavelength \lambda_B
is calculated as:
\lambda_B = \frac{\lambda}{2}
where:
-
\lambda
is the radar wavelength in meters, obtained usingseasonder_getRadarWaveLength
.
The Bragg wavelength is a critical parameter in interpreting the resonance scattering from the sea surface, which is fundamental to the operation of HF radar systems.
Value
A numeric value representing the Bragg wavelength (in meters).
