NEXRADLevel2File.get_data(moment, max_ngates, scans=None, raw_data=False)[source]

Retrieve moment data for a given set of scans.

Masked points indicate that the data was not collected, below threshold or is range folded.

Parameters :

moment : ‘REF’, ‘VEL’, ‘SW’, ‘ZDR’, ‘PHI’, or ‘RHO’

Moment for which to to retrieve data.

max_ngates : int

Maximum number of gates (bins) in any ray. requested.

raw_data : bool

True to return the raw data, False to perform masking as well as applying the appropiate scale and offset to the data. When raw_data is True values of 1 in the data likely indicate that the gate was not present in the sweep, in some cases in will indicate range folded data.

scans : list or None.

Scans to retrieve data from (0 based). None (the default) will get the data for all scans in the volume.

Returns :

data : ndarray
