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

Estimates the horizontal or vertical component of the wind from the radial 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
    "V" or "Vc"
vert_proj : Boolean
    If true the vertical projection is computed. Otherwise the
    horizontal projection is computed

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

Returns:

new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the output field “wind_vel_h_az”, (if vert_proj is False), or, “wind_vel_v” (if vert_proj is True)
ind_rad (int) – radar index
