pyart.correct.solar_flux_lookup(solar_flux, wavelen)[source]#

Given the observed solar flux at 10.7 cm wavelength, returns the solar flux at the given radar wavelength

Parameters:

  • solar_flux (float array) – the solar fluxes measured at 10.7 cm wavelength [10e-22 W/(m2 Hz)]

  • wavelen (float) – radar wavelength [m]

Returns:

s0 (float) – the radar flux at the radar wavelength [10e-22 W/(m2 Hz)]
