Arguments

x

A vp, list of vp, vpts or vpi object.

Value

A radar cross section in cm^2.

Details

See also rcs<- for changing or setting the radar cross section of an object.

Methods (by class)

  • vp: radar cross section of a vertical profile

  • list: radar cross sections for a list of vertical profiles

  • vpts: radar cross section of a time series of vertical profile

  • vpi: radar cross section of a time series of vertically integrated vertical profile(s)

Examples

# retrieve RCS for a single vertical profile: rcs(example_vp)
#> [1] 11
# retrieve RCS for a vertical profile time series: rcs(example_vpts)
#> [1] 11
# change or set RCS for a single vertical profile: rcs(example_vp) <- 11 # change or set RCS for a vertical profile time series: rcs(example_vpts) <- 11 # change RCS for a vertically integrated vertical profile time series: example_vpi <- integrate_profile(example_vpts) rcs(example_vpi) <- 11
