This function computes the Bragg wavelength \(\lambda_B\) for a SeaSonde radar system. The Bragg wavelength is defined as half the radar wavelength and is used to identify the fundamental scattering mechanisms in oceanographic radar measurements.
Details
The Bragg wavelength \(\lambda_B\) is calculated as: \(\lambda_B = \frac{\lambda}{2}\) where:
\(\lambda\) is the radar wavelength in meters, obtained using
seasonder_getRadarWaveLength.
The Bragg wavelength is a critical parameter in interpreting the resonance scattering from the sea surface, which is fundamental to the operation of HF radar systems.
