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

seasonder_cs_object

A SeaSondeRCS object containing the necessary data to compute the radar wavelength.

Details

The Bragg wavelength \lambda_B is calculated as: \lambda_B = \frac{\lambda}{2} where:

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).
