pyrad.proc.process_intercomp_with_QC#

pyrad.proc.process_intercomp_with_QC(procstatus, dscfg, radar_list=None)[source]#
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
    - one "main" datatype to be intercompared (ANY pyrad-supported datatype),
    - "PhiDP" or "PhiDPc"
    - "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
average_range_gates: list of int. Dataset keyword
    Number of consecutive range gates to average for every radar. If not
    provided it will average the highest resolution radar to match the resolution
    of the lowest resolution radar. If both radars have similar resolutions, it will
    not do any averaging.
clt_max : float. Dataset keyword
    maximum fraction  of samples that can be clutter contaminated.
    Default 1. i.e. all
phi_excess_max : float. Dataset keyword
    maximum fraction of samples that can have excess instantaneous
    PhiDP. Excess phidp is computed in the FLAG_TIME_AVG dataset, it corresponds to
    an exceedance of a threshold in PhiDP at the native time resolution of the data
    (no averaging). The excess phidp value corresponds to the parameter phidpmax used in the
    FLAG_TIME_AVG dataset used as input. Default 1. i.e. all
non_rain_max : float. Dataset keyword
    maximum fraction of samples that can be no rain. Default 1. i.e. all
phi_avg_max : float. Dataset keyword
    maximum average (hourly) PhiDP in degrees allowed. This conditions differs from
    phi_excess_max, because it concerns only average values and is defined in degrees
    and not in percentage of samples. Default is infinite, 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
