pyart.core.cartesian_to_antenna

pyart.core.cartesian_to_antenna(x, y, z)

Returns antenna coordinates from Cartesian coordinates.

Parameters:

x, y, z (array) – Cartesian coordinates in meters from the radar.

Returns:

• ranges (array) – Distances to the center of the radar gates (bins) in m.

• azimuths (array) – Azimuth angle of the radar in degrees. [-180., 180]

• elevations (array) – Elevation angle of the radar in degrees.

• ke (float, optional) – Effective radius scale factor
