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

Estimates the wind shear from the wind velocity of lidar scans

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"
az_tol : float
    The tolerance in azimuth when looking for gates on top
    of the gate when computation is performed

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

Returns:

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