pyart.graph.plot_convstrat_scheme(always_core_thres, use_cosine, max_diff=None, zero_diff_cos_val=None, use_addition=False, scalar_diff=None)[source]#

Plots the scheme used in the convective stratiform classification

Parameters:

  • always_core_thres (float) – All values above this threshold considered to be convective

  • use_cosine (bool) – Boolean used to determine if cosine scheme should be used for identifying convective cores (True) or a scalar scheme (False)

  • max_diff (float, optional) – Maximum difference between background average and reflectivity in order to be classified as convective. “a” value in Eqn. B1 in Yuter and Houze (1997)

  • zero_diff_cos_val (float, optional) – Value where difference between background average and reflectivity is zero in the cosine function “b” value in Eqn. B1 in Yuter and Houze (1997)

  • use_addition (bool, optional) – Determines if a multiplier (False) or addition (True) in the scalar difference scheme should be used

  • scalar_diff (float, optional) – If using a scalar difference scheme, this value is the multiplier or addition to the background average
