pyart.retrieve.compute_differential_reflectivity#

pyart.retrieve.compute_differential_reflectivity(spectra, sdBZ_field=None, sdBZv_field=None)[source]#

Computes the differential reflectivity from the horizontal and vertical spectral reflectivity

Parameters:

spectra (Radar spectra object) – Object containing the required fields
sdBZ_field, sdBZv_field (str) – Name of the fields that contain the spectral reflectivity. None will use the default field name in the Py-ART configuration file.

Returns:

ZDR_dict (field dictionary) – Field dictionary containing the differential reflectivity
