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

Estimates the radial velocity respect to the radar from the wind velocity

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
    WIND_SPEED, and,
    WIND_DIRECTION, and,
    wind_vel_v
latitude, longitude : float
    arbitrary coordinates [deg] from where to compute the radial
    velocity. If any of them is None it will be the radar position
altitude : float
    arbitrary altitude [m MSL] from where to compute the radial
    velocity. If None it will be the radar altitude

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

Returns:

  • new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the output field “V”

  • ind_rad (int) – radar index
