    <div class="sphx-glr-thumbcontainer" tooltip="Map the reflectivity field of a single PPI sweep from Antenna (polar) coordinates to a Cartesian grid, while using a 2D weighting. This solution is valid only for this case (single PPI sweep), yet it is a useful one (an arguably global solution since it overlooks the z-dimension grid limits). The exclusion of the z-dimension from the RoI and weighting calculations results in minor errors, especially considering the high co-variance of neighboring radar volumes and the typically small Cartesian grid separation. Errors are effectively negligible at low elevation angles common to PPI sweeps.">
