dpi: int
The pixel density of the plot. Default 72

‘SAVE_ML’: Saves an object containing the best estimate of the melting

layer retrieved in a C/F radial file

‘SAVE_RETRIEVED_ML’: Saves an object containing the estimate of the

melting layer at each elevation angle obtained by the MF retrieval in a C/F radial file

All the products of the ‘VOL’ dataset group

Parameters:

dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the radar object and a keyword stating the status of the processing
prdcfg (dictionary of dictionaries) – product configuration dictionary of dictionaries
