pyudv.attenuation.correction_factor#

correction_factor(r, alpha_w, Ks, Kt, psi)[source]#

Compute the part of the mean squared voltage independet of the sediment concentration: \(\frac{K_{\textup{s}} K_{\textup{t}}}{\psi r}^{2}e^{-4r\alpha_{\textup{w}}}\)

Parameters:

  • r (scalar, array) – radial coordinate

  • alpha_w (scalar, array) – water attenuation coefficient

  • Ks (scalar, array) – Sediment constant.

  • Kt (scalar, array) – Transducer constant.

  • psi (scalar, array) – near field function.

Returns:

return the part of the mean squared voltage that is independent of the sediment concentration.

Return type:

scalar, array
