pyrad.proc.process_time_height#

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

Produces time height radar objects at a point of interest defined by latitude and longitude. A time-height contains the evolution of the vertical structure of radar measurements above the location of interest.

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
lat, lon : float
    latitude and longitude of the point of interest [deg]
latlon_tol : float
    tolerance in latitude and longitude in deg. Default 0.0005
hmax : float
    The maximum height to plot [m]. Default 10000.
hres : float
    The height resolution [m]. Default 50
interp_kind : str
    type of interpolation when projecting to vertical grid: 'none',
    or 'nearest', etc. Default 'none'
    'none' will select from all data points within the regular grid
    height bin the closest to the center of the bin.
    'nearest' will select the closest data point to the center of the
    height bin regardless if it is within the height bin or not.
    Data points can be masked values
    If another type of interpolation is selected masked values will be
    eliminated from the data points before the interpolation

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

Returns:

new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the QVP and a keyword stating whether the processing has finished or not.
ind_rad (int) – radar index
