pyrad.proc.process_intercomp_time_avg

pyrad.proc.process_intercomp_time_avg(procstatus, dscfg, radar_list=None)

intercomparison between the average reflectivity of two radars

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
      dBZ" or "dBZc" or "dBuZ" or "dBZv" or "dBZvc" or "dBuZv, and,
      "PhiDP" or "PhiDPc", and,
      "time_avg_flag"
      for the two radars
  colocgatespath : string.
      base path to the file containing the coordinates of the co-located
      gates
  coloc_data_dir : string. Dataset keyword
      name of the directory containing the csv file with colocated data
  coloc_radars_name : string. Dataset keyword
      string identifying the radar names
  rays_are_indexed : bool. Dataset keyword
      If True it is considered that the rays are indexed and that the
      data can be selected simply looking at the ray number.
      Default false
  azi_tol : float. Dataset keyword
      azimuth tolerance between the two radars. Default 0.5 deg
  ele_tol : float. Dataset keyword
      elevation tolerance between the two radars. Default 0.5 deg
  rng_tol : float. Dataset keyword
      range tolerance between the two radars. Default 50 m
  clt_max : int. Dataset keyword
      maximum number of samples that can be clutter contaminated.
      Default 100 i.e. all
  phi_excess_max : int. Dataset keyword
      maximum number of samples that can have excess instantaneous
      PhiDP. Default 100 i.e. all
  non_rain_max : int. Dataset keyword
      maximum number of samples that can be no rain. Default 100 i.e. all
  phi_avg_max : float. Dataset keyword
      maximum average PhiDP allowed. Default 600 deg i.e. any
  

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

Returns:

• new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing a dictionary with intercomparison data and the key “final” which contains a boolean that is true when all volumes have been processed

• ind_rad (int) – radar index
