Computes noise in dBZ from reference noise value.

Parameters

nrays (int) – Number of rays in the reflectivity field.
noisedBZ_val (float) – Estimated noise value in dBZ at reference distance.
_range (np array of floats) – Range vector in m.
ref_dist (float) – Reference distance in Km.
noise_field (str, optional) – Name of the noise field.

Returns

noisedBZ (dict) – The noise field.
