- pyart.correct.compute_theoretical_vpr(ml_top=3000.0, ml_thickness=200.0, val_ml=3.0, val_dr=-3.0, h_max=6000.0, h_res=1.0)[source]#
Computes an idealized vertical profile of reflectivity
- Parameters:
ml_top (float) – melting layer top [m asl]
ml_thickness (float) – melting layer thickness [m]
val_ml (float) – value in the peak of the melting layer
val_dr (float) – decreasing ratio above the melting layer
h_max (float) – maximum altitude at which to compute the profile [m asl]
h_res (float) – profile resolution [m]
- Returns:
val_theo_dict (dict) – A dictionary containg the value at each altitude, the reference altitude and the top and bottom of the melting layer
