pyart.graph.RadarDisplay

class pyart.graph.RadarDisplay(radar, shift=(0.0, 0.0))[source]

A display object for creating plots from data in a radar object.

Parameters :

radar : Radar

Radar object to use for creating plots.

shift : (float, float)

Shifts in km to offset the calulcated x and y locations.

origin (str) ‘Origin’ or ‘Radar’.
shift ((float, float)) Shift in meters.
x, y, z (array) Cartesian location of a sweep in meters.
loc ((float, float)) Latitude and Longitude of radar in degrees.
time_begin (datetime) Beginning time of first radar scan.
starts (array) Starting ray index for each tilt.
ends (array) Ending ray index for each tilt.
fields (dict) Radar fields.
