Benchmark model outputs from Jech et al. (2015)

A packaged list of benchmark target-strength spectra for the canonical sphere, shell-sphere, finite-cylinder, and prolate-spheroid comparison cases used throughout the package validation workflow. The stored values follow the benchmark definitions assembled by Jech et al. (2015) and distributed in the echoSMs reference resources.

Usage

data(benchmark_ts)

Format

An object of class list of length 2.
