pyart.correct.phase_proc.det_process_range(radar, sweep, fzl, doc=10)

Determine the processing range for a given sweep.

Queues the radar and returns the indices which can be used to slice the radar fields and select the desired sweep with gates which are below a given altitude.

Parameters :

radar : Radar

Radar object from which ranges will be determined.

sweep : int

Sweep (0 indexed) for which to determine processing ranges.

fzl : float

Maximum altitude in meters. The determined range will not include gates which are above this limit.

doc : int

Minimum number of gates which will be excluded from the determined range.

Returns :

gate_end : int

Index of last gate below fzl and satisfying the doc parameter.

ray_start : int

Ray index which defines the start of the region.

ray_end : int

Ray index which defined the end of the region.
