pyart.aux_io.read_product_py(radar_file, physic_value=False, masked_array=False, verbose=False)

Reads a METRANET polar product data file, from MeteoSwiss post-processing products that are stored in polar coordinates, e.g. YM (hydrometeor class) and DV (dealiased velocity), e.g. YMA2605300107L.803 or DVA2605300107L.810

Parameters:

• radar_file (str) – file name

• physic_value (boolean) – If true returns the physical value. Otherwise the digital value

• masked_array (boolean) – If true returns a numpy masked array with NaN values masked. Otherwise returns a regular masked array with NaN values
