pyart.retrieve.get_iso0_val#

pyart.retrieve.get_iso0_val(radar, temp_ref_field='heigh_over_iso0', temp_ref='heigh_over_iso0', iso0_ref=3000.0, lapse_rate=-6.5)[source]#

Computes the altitude of the iso-0°

Parameters:

  • radar (Radar) – Radar object.

  • temp_ref_field (str) – Name of the field, can be height over the iso0 field or temperature

  • temp_ref (str) – temperature reference field to use

  • iso0_ref (float) – iso0 to use when there is insufficient data

  • lapse_rate (float) – The decrease in temperature for each vertical km [deg/km]

Returns:

iso0 (float) – The altitude of the iso-0
