pyrad.proc.process_signal_power#

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

Computes the signal power in dBm

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 "dBuZ" or "dBZc" or "dBuZc" or "dBZv" or "dBuZv" or "dBuZvc"
mflossh, mflossv : float. Dataset keyword
    The matching filter losses of the horizontal (vertical) channel
    [dB]. If None it will be obtained from the attribute
    radar_calibration of the radar object. Defaults to 0
radconsth, radconstv : float. Dataset keyword
    The horizontal (vertical) channel radar constant. If None it will
    be obtained from the attribute radar_calibration of the radar
    object
lrxh, lrxv : float. Global keyword
    The horizontal (vertical) receiver losses from the antenna feed to
    the reference point. [dB] positive value. Default 0
lradomeh, lradomev : float. Global keyword
    The 1-way dry radome horizontal (vertical) channel losses.
    [dB] positive value. Default 0.
attg : float. Dataset keyword
    The gas attenuation [dB/km]. If none it will be obtained from the
    attribute radar_calibration of the radar object or assigned
    according to the radar frequency. Defaults to 0.

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

Returns:

new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the output field “dBm” or “dBmv” (if vert. refl. was provided)
ind_rad (int) – radar index
