pyart.retrieve.compute_reflectivity_iq#

pyart.retrieve.compute_reflectivity_iq(radar, subtract_noise=False, signal_field=None, noise_field=None)[source]#

Computes the reflectivity from the IQ signal data

Parameters:

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

  • subtract_noise (Bool) – If true the noise is subtracted from the power

  • signal_field, noise_field (str) – Name of the signal and noise fields. None will use the default field name in the Py-ART configuration file.

Returns:

dBZ_dict (field dictionary) – Field dictionary containing the reflectivity
