pyart.retrieve.compute_noisedBZ#

pyart.retrieve.compute_noisedBZ(nrays, noisedBZ_val, _range, ref_dist, noise_field=None)[source]#

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.
