pyart.correct.calc_zdr_offset#

pyart.correct.calc_zdr_offset(radar, gatefilter=None, height_range=None, zdr_var=None)[source]#

Function for calculating the ZDR bias from a VPT scan.

Parameters:

  • radar (PyART radar object) – Radar object with radar data

  • gatefilter (PyART GateFilter) – Gatefilter for filtering out data for calculating ZDR bias

  • height_range (tuple) – The minimum and maximum heights in meters for the scan.

  • zdr_var (string or None) – The name of the ZDR variable. Set to None to have PyART try to determine this automatically.

Returns:

profiles (dict) – The mean vertical profiles of each radar moment are extracted along with the ZDR bias.
