DownContFilterMA

Compute the minimum-amplitude downward continuation filter of Wieczorek and Phillips (1998).

Usage

wl = DownContFilterMA (l, half, r, d)

Parameters

wl : output, real(dp)
    The amplitude of the downward continuation filter.

l : input, integer(int32)
    The spherical harmonic degree.

half : input, integer(int32)
    The spherical harmonic degree where the filter is equal to 0.5.

r : input, real(dp)
    The reference radius of the gravitational field.

d : input, real(dp)
    The radius of the surface to downward continue to.

Description

DownContFilterMA will calculate the downward continuation filter of Wieczorek and Phillips (1998; eq. 19) for a given spherical harmonic degree l. The input parameters include half, which is the degree where the filter is equal to 0.5, and r and d, which are the reference radius of the gravitational field and the radius of the surface to downward continue to, respectively.
