This is the code described in Al-Attabi et al. (2021) for the inversion of the 2nd-order of a Doppler spectrum from HF radar systems. This is a radar wave inversion technique that treats swell and wind waves separately. Its application requires two Doppler spectra corresponding to two different radar beams (two beams from two different HF radars or from a single radar).

Although the wind wave inversion part is identical to that described in Alattabi et al., (2019), the swell inversion part is different. It is based on the Lipa and Barrick (1980) method (referred to as LMP in the paper). Prior to the inversion, the 2nd order Doppler spectrum is separated into the swell and wind wave regions. For each region the inversion takes place separately and then the two (swell and wind wave) inverted spectra are combined to a single wave energy spectrum. The code includes the basic functions and a demo routine that uses the data of event A to H (see Al-Attabi et al, 2021) and recreates Figures 14 and 15 in the paper. These figures might be slightly different (improved) because of a small change in the method used combining the swell and wind inverted spectra when no swell is detected. See comments inside the code for more details.
