dscfg (dictionary of dictionaries) –

data set configuration. Accepted Configuration Keywords:

datatype : list of string. Dataset keyword
    The input data types, must contain,
     "dBZ", "dBuZ", "dBZc", "dBuZc", "dBZv", "dBZvc" "dBuZv", or "dBuZvc"
freq : float. Dataset keyword
    The radar frequency
kw : float. Dataset keyword
    The water constant

radar_list (list of Radar objects) – Optional. list of radar objects

Returns:

new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the output field “eta_h” or “eta_v” (if vert. refl. were provided)
ind_rad (int) – radar index
