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

Computes the radial noise from the signal power using the Ivic 2013 method

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 input data type, must contain,
    "dBm" or "dBmv"
npulses_ray : int
    Default number of pulses used in the computation of the ray. If
    the number of pulses is not in radar.instrument_parameters this
    will be used instead. Default 30
ngates_min: int
    minimum number of gates with noise to consider the retrieval
    valid. Default 800
iterations: int
    number of iterations in step 7. Default 10.
get_noise_pos : bool
    If true an additional field with gates containing noise according
    to the algorithm is produced

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

Returns:

new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the output field “NdBmh” and “noise_pos_h” or “NdBmh” and “noise_pos_v” (if vert. refl. were provided)
ind_rad (int) – radar index
