pyrad.proc.process_multiple_points#

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

Obtains the radar data at multiple points. The points are defined in a file

Parameters:

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

dscfg (dictionary of dictionaries) –

data set configuration. Accepted Configuration Keywords:

datatype : string. Dataset keyword
    The data type where we want to extract the point measurement,
    can be any datatype supported by pyrad and available in the data
truealt : boolean. Dataset keyword
    if True the user input altitude is used to determine the point of
    interest.
    if False use the altitude at a given radar elevation ele over the
    point of interest. Default is False.
coord_fname : string
    File name containing the points coordinates
alt_points : float. Dataset keyword
    altitude [m MSL]. Use when latlon is True.
ele_points : float. Dataset keyword
    radar elevation [deg]. Use when latlon is False or when latlon is
    True and truealt is False
AziTol : float. Dataset keyword
    azimuthal tolerance to determine which radar azimuth to use [deg]
EleTol : float. Dataset keyword
    elevation tolerance to determine which radar elevation to use [deg]
RngTol : float. Dataset keyword
    range tolerance to determine which radar bin to use [m]

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

Returns:

new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the data and metadata at the point of interest
ind_rad (int) – radar index
