Compute Mean Volume Backscattering Strength (MVBS)
based on intervals of range (echo_range
) or depth (depth
)
and ping_time
specified in physical units.
Output of this function differs from that of compute_MVBS_index_binning
, which computes
bin-averaged Sv according to intervals of echo_range
and ping_time
specified as
index number.
dataset containing Sv and echo_range
[m]
The variable to use for range binning.
Must be one of echo_range
or depth
.
Note that depth
is only available if the input dataset contains
depth
as a data variable.
bin size along echo_range
or depth
in meters.
bin size along ping_time
The flox strategy for reduction of dask arrays only. See flox documentation for more details.
Which side of bin interval is closed.
Additional keyword arguments to be passed to flox reduction function.
