pyart.retrieve.compute_vol_refl#
- pyart.retrieve.compute_vol_refl(radar, kw=0.93, freq=None, refl_field=None, vol_refl_field=None)[source]#
Computes the volumetric reflectivity from the effective reflectivity factor
- Parameters:
radar (Radar) – radar object
kw (float) – water constant
freq (None or float) – radar frequency
refl_field (str) – name of the reflectivity used for the calculations
vol_refl_field (str) – name of the volumetric reflectivity
- Returns:
vol_refl_dict (dict) – volumetric reflectivity and metadata in 10log10(cm^2 km^-3)
