pyart.retrieve.compute_Doppler_velocity_iq#

pyart.retrieve.compute_Doppler_velocity_iq(radar, signal_field=None, direction='negative_away')[source]#

Computes the Doppler velocity from the IQ data

Parameters:

  • radar (IQ radar object) – Object containing the required fields

  • signal_field (str) – Name of the field in the radar which contains the signal. None will use the default field name in the Py-ART configuration file.

  • direction (str) – The convention used in the Doppler mean field. Can be negative_away or negative_towards

Returns:

vel_dict (field dictionary) – Field dictionary containing the Doppler velocity
