pyrad.prod.generate_intercomp_products(dataset, prdcfg)

Generates radar intercomparison products. Accepted product types:

‘PLOT_AND_WRITE_INTERCOMP_TS’: Writes statistics of radar

intercomparison in a file and plots the time series of the statistics. User defined parameters:

‘add_date_in_fname’: Bool

If true adds the year in the csv file containing the statistics. Default False

‘sort_by_date’: Bool

If true sorts the statistics by date when reading the csv file containing the statistics. Default False

‘rewrite’: Bool

If true rewrites the csv file containing the statistics. Default False

‘npoints_min’: int

The minimum number of points to consider the statistics valid and therefore use the data point in the plotting. Default 0

‘corr_min’: float

The minimum correlation to consider the statistics valid and therefore use the data point in the plotting. Default 0.

‘PLOT_SCATTER_INTERCOMP’: Plots a density plot with the points of

radar 1 versus the points of radar 2 User defined parameters:

‘step’: float

The quantization step of the data. If none it will be computed using the Py-ART config file. Default None

‘scatter_type’: str

Type of scatter plot. Can be a plot for each radar volume (‘instant’) or at the end of the processing period (‘cumulative’). Default is ‘cumulative’

‘WRITE_INTERCOMP’: Writes the instantaneously intercompared data

(gate positions, values, etc.) in a csv file.

‘WRITE_INTERCOMP_TIME_AVG’: Writes the time-averaged intercompared

data (gate positions, values, etc.) in a csv file.

Parameters:

• dataset (tuple) – values of colocated gates dictionary

• prdcfg (dictionary of dictionaries) – product configuration dictionary of dictionaries

Returns:

filename (str) – the name of the file created. None otherwise
