Thank you for sharing your question. To use the provided MATLAB function itur_p837_5 with your specific latitude, longitude, and percentage values, you'll need to call the function with these inputs in your MATLAB environment. First, ensure the data files are accessible and in the current working directory. Second, you will need to call the function with your specific values you specified. Include this code snippet in your code:
% Define your inputs
lat = 7.17;
lon = 5.18;
p = [10, 1, 0.3, 0.1, 0.03, 0.01, 0.003, 0.001];
% Call the function
[rr, p0] = itur_p837_5(p, lat, lon);
% Display the results
disp('Rainfall rates (mm/h) for given probabilities:');
disp(rr);
disp('Percentage probability of rain in an average year:');
disp(p0);
More details:
- Latitude and Longitude: These are given as lat = 7.17 and lon = 5.18. The longitude is automatically adjusted within the function if it is negative, but in your case, it is already positive.
- Percentages (p): These are the probabilities for which you want to calculate the rain rate. They are provided as a vector [10, 1, 0.3, 0.1, 0.03, 0.01, 0.003, 0.001].
- Function Call: The function itur_p837_5 is called with p, lat, and lon as inputs, and it returns rr (rainfall rates) and p0 (percentage probability of rain in an average year).
Make sure that the MATLAB environment is set up correctly with all necessary files and paths. If you encounter any errors related to file loading, ensure the data files are in the correct location or adjust the paths accordingly.
