| Parameter | Usage | Initial value | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| u | "advection" component of movement; northward component of directed movement | 0 | nm/day |
| v | "advection" component of movement; eastward component of directed movement | 0 | nm/day |
| D | "diffusion" component of movement. A measure of the variability in movement | 100 | nm^2/day |
| ss1 | light covariance parameter 1 - two light measurements taken near the same solar event are more similar (correlated) than two taken at separate solar events | 1 | N/A |
| ss2 | light covariance parameter 2 - correlation between two light measurements near the same solar event decreases as the time between them increases | 5 | N/A |
| ss3 | independent measurement errors in light | 1 | N/A |
| rho | light covariance parameter used in combination with ss1 & ss2, see Nielsen & Sibert 2007 for equations | 0.01 | N/A |
| bsst | systematic error (or bias) in the estimation of sea-surface temperature, SST | 1 | degree Celsius |
| sssst | random error in the estimation of sea-surface temperature, SST | 0.1 | degree Celsius |
| rad | smoothing radius of SST data; radius centered from a given point within which satellite SST data are used | 200 | nm |
| phi | a collection of points (n = a2lpoints, default at 15) used to model a light curve with a cubic spine | See ?trackit | N/A |
| Option | Usage | Initial value | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| a2lpoints | No. of points used to model light curve, see phi | 15 | N/A |
| blue.light.only | Not implemented right now | FALSE | N/A |
