- pyart.retrieve.compute_ts_along_coord(radar, field_names, mode='ALONG_AZI', fixed_range=None, fixed_azimuth=None, fixed_elevation=None, ang_tol=1.0, rng_tol=50.0, value_start=None, value_stop=None, ref_time=None, acoord=None)[source]#
Computes time series along a particular antenna coordinate, i.e. along azimuth, elevation or range
- Parameters:
radar (Radar) – Radar object used.
field_names (str) – list of field names
mode (str) – coordinate to extract data along. Can be ALONG_AZI, ALONG_ELE or ALONG_RNG
fixed_range, fixed_azimuth, fixed_elevation (float) – The fixed range [m], azimuth [deg] or elevation [deg] to extract. In each mode two of these parameters have to be defined. If they are not defined they default to 0.
ang_tol, rng_tol (float) – The angle tolerance [deg] and range tolerance [m] around the fixed range or azimuth/elevation
value_start, value_stop (float) – The minimum and maximum value at which the data along a coordinate start and stop
ref_time (datetime object) – reference time for current radar volume
acoord (acoord object or None) – If it is not None this is the object where to store the data from the current time step. Otherwise a new acoord object will be created
- Returns:
acoord (acoord object) – The computed data along a coordinate
