pyart.aux_io

Description

Auxiliary input and output (pyart.aux_io)

Additional classes and functions for reading and writing data from a number of file formats.

These auxiliary input/output routines are not as well polished as those in pyart.io. They may require addition dependencies beyond those required for a standard Py-ART install, use non-standard function parameter and naming, are not supported by the pyart.io.read() function and are not fully tested if tested at all. Please use these at your own risk.

Bugs in these function should be reported but fixing them may not be a priority.

If a data type found in the file does not appear in this dictionary or has a value of None it will not be placed in the radar.fields dictionary. A value of None, the default, will use the mapping defined in the Py-ART configuration file. * additional_metadata (dict of dicts, optional) -- Dictionary of dictionaries to retrieve metadata from during this read. This metadata is not used during any successive file reads unless explicitly included. A value of None, the default, will not introduct any addition metadata and the file specific or default metadata as specified by the Py-ART configuration file will be used. * file_field_names (bool, optional) -- True to use the MDV data type names for the field names. If this case the field_names parameter is ignored. The field dictionary will likely only have a 'data' key, unless the fields are defined in additional_metadata. * exclude_fields (list or None, optional) -- List of fields to exclude from the radar object. This is applied after the file_field_names and field_names parameters. Set to None to include all fields specified by include_fields. * include_fields (list or None, optional) -- List of fields to include from the radar object. This is applied after the file_field_names and field_names parameters. Set to None to include all fields not specified by exclude_fields.
