pyrad.proc.process_time_avg_flag#

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

computes a flag field describing the conditions of the data used while averaging

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 be
    "PhiDP" or "PhiDPc" (Optional, for PhiDP flagging), and,
    "echoID" (Optional, for echoID flagging), and,
    "hydro" (Optional, for no rain flagging), and,
    "TEMP" (Optional, for solid precip flagging), and,
    "H_ISO0" (Optional, also for solid precip flagging)
period : float. Dataset keyword
    the period to average [s]. Default 3600.
start_average : float. Dataset keyword
    when to start the average [s from midnight UTC]. Default 0.
phidpmax: float. Dataset keyword
    maximum PhiDP
beamwidth : float. Dataset keyword
    the antenna beamwidth [deg]. If None that of the keys
    radar_beam_width_h or radar_beam_width_v in attribute
    instrument_parameters of the radar object will be used. If the key
    or the attribute are not present the beamwidth will be set to None

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

Returns:

new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the field “time_avg_flag”
ind_rad (int) – radar index
