    Given a profile of a variable map it to the gates of radar assuming 4/3Re.

    Parameters
    ----------
    profile : array
        Profile array to map.
    heights : array
        Monotonically increasing heights in meters with same shape as profile.
    radar : Radar
        Radar to map to.
    toa : float, optional
        Top of atmosphere, where to use profile up to. If None check for
        mask and use lowest element, if no mask uses whole profile.
    height_field : str, optional
        Name to use for height field metadata. None will use the default field
        name from the Py-ART configuration file.
    profile_field : str, optional
