Calculates theoretical TS of a solid sphere of a certain material at a given frequency.

This function is a wrapper around TS_calculate(...) that parametrizes the remainder of the model, while also doing simple calculations that do not need to be looped. This function provides a TS estimate at a given frequency.

Usage

calibration(object)

Arguments

object

CAL-class object.

Value

The theoretical acoustic target strength (TS, dB re. 1 \(m^2\)) of a solid sphere at a given frequency.
