pyart.correct.correct_sys_phase(radar, ind_rmin=10, ind_rmax=500, min_rcons=11, zmin=20.0, zmax=40.0, psidp_field=None, refl_field=None, phidp_field=None)[source]#

correction of the system offset. Public method

Parameters:

  • radar (Radar) – Radar object for which to determine the system phase.

  • ind_rmin, ind_rmax (int) – Min and max range index where to look for continuous precipitation

  • min_rcons (int) – The minimum number of consecutive gates to consider it a rain cell.

  • zmin, zmax (float) – Minimum and maximum reflectivity to consider it a rain cell

  • psidp_field (str) – Field name within the radar object which represent the differential phase shift. A value of None will use the default field name as defined in the Py-ART configuration file.

  • refl_field (str) – Field name within the radar object which represent the reflectivity. A value of None will use the default field name as defined in the Py-ART configuration file.

  • phidp_field (str) – Field name within the radar object which represent the corrected differential phase shift. A value of None will use the default field name as defined in the Py-ART configuration file.

Returns:

phidp_dict (dict) – The corrected phidp field
