pyrad.graph.plot_fixed_rng_span(radar, field_name, prdcfg, fname_list, azi_res=None, ele_res=None, ang_tol=1.0, stat='max', plot_type='field', plot_max=False)[source]#

Plot a statistic over a fixed range span.

Parameters:
  • radar (radar object) – Radar object containing the fixed-range-span data.

  • field_name (str) – Name of the field to plot.

  • prdcfg (dict) – Product configuration dictionary.

  • fname_list (list of str) – Names of the files where the plot will be stored.

  • azi_res, ele_res (float or None, optional) – Nominal azimuth and elevation grid resolution [deg].

  • ang_tol (float, optional) – Tolerance between nominal and actual radar angles [deg].

  • stat ({“max”, “min”, “mean”, “median”}, optional) – Statistic computed along the range dimension.

  • plot_type ({“field”, “range”}, optional) – Quantity to plot:

    • "field" plots the field statistic over the range span.

    • "range" plots the range at which the statistic occurred.

    For mean and median, the range image contains the midpoint of the available range interval.

  • plot_max (bool, optional) – If True, mark and annotate the maximum value in the selected image.

Returns:

output_fname_list (list of str) – Names of the created plots.
