act.retrievals.calculate_irradiance_stats

act.retrievals.calculate_irradiance_stats(ds, variable=None, variable2=None, diff_output_variable=None, ratio_output_variable=None, threshold=None)

Function to calculate the difference and ratio between two irradiance.

Parameters:

• ds (xarray.Dataset) – Xarray dataset where variables for these calculations are stored

• variable (str) – Name of the first irradiance variable

• variable2 (str) – Name of the second irradiance variable

• diff_output_variable (str) – Variable name to store the difference results Defaults to ‘diff_’ + variable

• ratio_output_variable (str) – Variable name to store the ratio results Defaults to ‘ratio_’ + variable

Returns:

ds (xarray.Dataset) – Xarray dataset with calculations included as new variables.
