pyrad.io.read_monitoring_ts

pyrad.io.read_monitoring_ts(quantiles, fname, sort_by_date=False)

Reads a monitoring time series contained in a CSV file using pandas.

Parameters:

• quantiles (1D ndarray) – The computed quantiles.

• fname (str) – Path of time series file.

• sort_by_date (bool) – If True, the read data is sorted by date prior to exit.

Returns:

date, np_t, quantile_data, geometric_mean_dB, linear_mean_dB (tuple) –

• date: Array of timestamps.

• np_t: Array of NP values.

• quantile_data: Dictionary with quantile values, where keys are quantile names.

• geometric_mean_dB: Mean reflectivity in dB.

• linear_mean_dB: Mean reflectivity computed in linear units and converted back to dB.
