IDL Data Structure for Raw ACF data

RFC: 0021

Title

IDL Data Structure for Raw ACF data

Author

R.J.Barnes

Summary

A description of the IDL data structure used to store Raw ACF data.

Description

1. Introduction

The raw ACF data is the primary (first order) data product from the SuperDARN radars. Within IDL a structure is used to store the ACF data.

2. Constants

A number of constants are used to define array limits

LAG_SIZE=96
MAX_RANGE=300

3. Raw ACF data structure `RawData`

raw={RawData, $
       revision: {rlstr, major: 0L, $        ; major revision 
                            minor: 0L}, $    ; minor revision
       thr: 0.0, $                           ; lag-zero power threshold level
       pwr0: fltarr(MAX_RANGE), $            ; lag zero powers
       acfd: fltarr(MAX_RANGE,LAG_SIZE,2), $ ; ACF data
       xcfd: fltarr(MAX_RANGE,LAG_SIZE,2) $  ; XCF data
    }
