pyart.retrieve.get_ml_rng_limits

pyart.retrieve.get_ml_rng_limits(rng_left_km, rng_right_km, rng, ang, ang_res, radar_altitude, ml_bottom, ml_top)

get the minimum and maximum range affected by the melting layer

Parameters:

• rng_left_km, rng_right_km (array of floats) – the left and right limits of each range resolution volume [km]

• rng (array of floats) – the radar range (center of the bin) [m]

• ang (float) – the elevation angle

• ang_res (float) – the angle resolution considered

• radar_altitude (float) – the radar altitude [masl]

• ml_bottom, ml_top (float) – the top and bottom of the melting layer [m msl]

Returns:

rng_min, rng_max (radar object) – the minimum and maximum ranges affected by the melting layer
