pyart.retrieve.compute_vol_refl(radar, kw=0.93, freq=None, refl_field=None, vol_refl_field=None)[source]#

Computes the volumetric reflectivity from the effective reflectivity factor

Parameters:

  • radar (Radar) – radar object

  • kw (float) – water constant

  • freq (None or float) – radar frequency

  • refl_field (str) – name of the reflectivity used for the calculations

  • vol_refl_field (str) – name of the volumetric reflectivity

Returns:

vol_refl_dict (dict) – volumetric reflectivity and metadata in 10log10(cm^2 km^-3)
