pyart.graph.plot_convstrat_scheme(always_core_thres, use_cosine, max_diff=None, zero_diff_cos_val=None, use_addition=False, scalar_diff=None)[source]#

Plots the scheme used in the convective stratiform classification

Parameters:: always_core_thres (float) – All values above this threshold considered to be convective

use_cosinebool: Boolean used to determine if cosine scheme should be used for identifying convective cores (True) or a scalar scheme (False)
max_difffloat, optional: Maximum difference between background average and reflectivity in order to be classified as convective. “a” value in Eqn. B1 in Yuter and Houze (1997)
zero_diff_cos_valfloat, optional: Value where difference between background average and reflectivity is zero in the cosine function “b” value in Eqn. B1 in Yuter and Houze (1997)
use_additionbool, optional: Determines if a multiplier (False) or addition (True) in the scalar difference scheme should be used
scalar_difffloat, optional: If using a scalar difference scheme, this value is the multiplier or addition to the background average
