pyart.util.colocated_gates2

pyart.util.colocated_gates2(radar1, radar2, distance_upper_bound=1000.0, coloc_gates_field=None)

Flags radar gates of radar1 co-located with radar2. Uses nearest neighbour calculation with cKDTree :Parameters: * radar1 (Radar) – radar object that is going to be flagged

• radar2 (Radar) – radar object

• distance_upper_bound (float) – upper bound of the distance between neighbours (m)

• coloc_gates_field (string) – Name of the field to retrieve the data

Returns:

• coloc_dict (dict) – a dictionary containing the colocated positions of radar 1 (ele, azi, rng) and radar 2

• coloc_rad1 – field with the colocated gates of radar1 flagged, i.e: 1: not colocated gates 2: colocated (0 is reserved)
