ScreenData
MATLAB
WT = ScreenData(C,[intFlag])
WT = ScreenData([lambda],G,Atm,[intFlag])
Description

Returns a structure of computed screen data useful for input to a WaveTrain simulation. Velocity decomposition is done in the target "parallel" (P) and the target "transverse" (T) directions, both of which are transverse to the propagation direction. NOTE: The value of ScrData.Cn2 is equal to Atm.Cn2. If intFlag is false (the default), ScrData.AverageCn2 is equal to Atm.Cn2. If intFlag is true, ScrData.AverageCn2 is computed using AverageAtm. ScrData.IntegratedCn2 is always ScrData.AverageCn2.*Atm.dz and ScrData.r0Screens is computed using ScrData.IntegratedCn2.

Parameters
Parameters 
Description 
C [struct] 
Engagement case structure from CaseStruct or a comma-separated list of ([lambda],G,Atm) 
lambda [scalar] 
(Optional) Wavelength for which to compute the screen r0 values (m). Defaults to 1 micron. 
G [struct] 
Geometry structure as from GeomStruct 
Atm [struct] 
A discrete atmospheric structure from AtmStruct with models for Cn2, Wind, Abs, Scat, and Temp. Any models not present will be set to zero. 
intFlag [logical] 
(Optional) Flag indicating the integral type. If intFlag=false (default) calculation will use Atm.Cn2.*Atm.dz. If intFlag=true, calculation will integrate Atm.Cn2Eval over the phase screen segments
