compute_MVBS
(ds_Sv, range_meter_bin=20, ping_time_bin='20S')¶ Compute Mean Volume Backscattering Strength (MVBS) based on intervals of range and ping_time specified in physical units.
Output of this function differs from that of
compute_MVBS_index_binning
, which computes bin-averaged Sv according to intervals of range and ping_time specified as index number.Parameters: - ds_Sv : xr.Dataset
dataset containing Sv and range [m]
- range_meter_bin : Union[int, float]
bin size along
range
in meters, default to20
- ping_time_bin : str
bin size along
ping_time
, default to20S
Returns: - A dataset containing bin-averaged Sv
