pyart.io.read_cfradial(filename, field_names=None, additional_metadata=None, file_field_names=False, exclude_fields=None)[source]

Read a Cfradial netCDF file.

Parameters :

filename : str

Name of CF/Radial netCDF file to read data from.

field_names : dict, optional

Dictionary mapping field names in the file names to radar field names. Unlike other read functions, fields not in this dictionary or having a value of None are still included in the radar.fields dictionary, to exclude them use the exclude_fields parameter. Fields which are mapped by this dictionary will be renamed from key to value.

additional_metadata : dict of dicts, optional

This parameter is not used, it is included for uniformity.

file_field_names : bool, optional

True to force the use of the field names from the file in which case the field_names parameter is ignored. False will use to field_names parameter to rename fields.

exclude_fields : list or None, optional

List of fields to exclude from the radar object. This is applied after the file_field_names and field_names parameters.

Returns :

radar : Radar

Radar object.

Notes

This function has not been tested on “stream” Cfradial files.
