A value of None for any of these parameters will use the default field name as defined in the Py-ART configuration file. ncp_field : str, optional Name of the normalized coherent power field used for the attenuation correction. A value of None for any of these parameters will use the default field name as defined in the Py-ART configuration file. zdr_field : str, optional Name of the differential reflectivity field used for the attenuation correction. A value of None for any of these parameters will use the default field name as defined in the Py-ART configuration file. This will only be used if it is available. spec_at_field : str, optional Name of the specific attenuation field that will be used to fill in the metadata for the returned fields. A value of None for any of these parameters will use the default field names as defined in the Py-ART configuration file. corr_refl_field : str, optional Name of the corrected reflectivity field that will be used to fill in the metadata for the returned fields. A value of None for any of these parameters will use the default field names as defined in the Py-ART configuration file. Returns ------- spec_at : dict Field dictionary containing the specific attenuation. cor_z : dict Field dictionary containing the corrected reflectivity. References ---------- Gu et al.
