pyrad.proc.process_bird_density(procstatus, dscfg, radar_list=None)[source]#

Computes the bird density from the volumetric reflectivity

Parameters:

procstatus (int) – Processing status: 0 initializing, 1 processing volume, 2 post-processing

dscfg (dictionary of dictionaries) –

data set configuration. Accepted Configuration Keywords:

datatype : list of string. Dataset keyword
    The input data types, must contain,
    "eta_h" or "eta_v" (volumetric reflectivities)
sigma_bird : float. Dataset keyword
    The bird radar cross section

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

Returns:

new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the output field “bird_density”
ind_rad (int) – radar index
