pyrad.util.find_ray_index

pyrad.util.find_ray_index(ele_vec, azi_vec, ele, azi, ele_tol=0.0, azi_tol=0.0, nearest='azi')

Find the ray index corresponding to a particular elevation and azimuth

Parameters:

• ele_vec, azi_vec (float arrays) – The elevation and azimuth data arrays where to look for

• ele, azi (floats) – The elevation and azimuth to search

• ele_tol, azi_tol (floats) – Tolerances [deg]

• nearest (str) – criteria to define wich ray to keep if multiple rays are within tolerance. azi: nearest azimuth, ele: nearest elevation

Returns:

ind_ray (int) – The ray index
