compute_MVBS_index_binning
compute_MVBS_index_binning¶
- echopype.preprocess.compute_MVBS_index_binning(ds_Sv, range_bin_num=100, ping_num=100)¶
Compute Mean Volume Backscattering Strength (MVBS) based on intervals of range_bin and ping number specified in index number.
Output of this function differs from that of
compute_MVBS, which computes bin-averaged Sv according to intervals of range and ping_time specified in physical units.- Parameters
- ds_Svxr.Dataset
dataset containing Sv and range [m]
- range_bin_numint
number of samples to average along the
range_bindimension, default to 100- ping_numint
number of pings to average, default to 100
- Returns
- A dataset containing bin-averaged Sv
