xradar.model.create_sweep_dataset

xradar.model.create_sweep_dataset(**kwargs)

Create Sweep Dataset with Coordinates.

This function creates a simple Dataset with all needed coordinates.

Radar moment variables can be assigned to this Dataset.

Keyword Arguments:

• shape (tuple) – tuple with shape of DataArray

• time (float or numpy.ndarray) – time resolution or array with time values (‘seconds since’-notation).

• date_str (str) – String with the form ‘YYYY-mm-ddTHH:MM:SS’ depicting the reference time.

• rng (float or numpy.ndarray) – range resolution or array with range values.

• azimuth (float or numpy.ndarray) – azimuth resolution or array with azimuth values.

• direction (int) – 1 - CW/UP, -1 CCW/DOWN

• a1gate (int) – First measured ray. Defaults to 0. Only used for PPI.

• elevation (float or numpy.ndarray) – elevation resolution or array with elevation values.

• sweep (str) – “PPI” or “RHI”.

Returns:

swp_ds (xarray.Dataset) – Sweep Dataset.
