wradlib.verify.PolarNeighbours

class wradlib.verify.PolarNeighbours(r, az, site, crs, x, y, *, nnear=9)

For a set of projected point coordinates, extract the neighbouring bin values from a data set in polar coordinates.

Use as follows:

First, create an instance of PolarNeighbours by passing all the information needed to georeference the polar radar data to the points of interest (see parameters).

Second, use the method extract in order to extract the values from a data array which corresponds to the polar coordinates.

Parameters:

• r (numpy.ndarray) – (see wradlib.georef for documentation)

• az (numpy.ndarray) – (see wradlib.georef for documentation)

• site (sequence) – A sequence of floats (see wradlib.georef for documentation)

• crs (pyproj.crs.CoordinateSystem, cartopy.crs.CRS, osgeo.osr.SpatialReference, str or int) – Any of the given projection objects, anything which can be consumed by pyproj.CRS.from_user_input or None (see wradlib.georef for documentation)

• x (numpy.ndarray) – array of x coordinates of the points in map projection corresponding to crs

• y (numpy.ndarray) – array of y coordinates of the points in map projection corresponding to crs

• nnear (int) – number of neighbouring radar bins you would like to find

Examples

See Routine verification measures for radar-based precipitation estimates.

extract(vals)	Extracts the values from an array of shape (azimuth angles, range gages) which correspond to the indices computed during initialisation
get_bincoords()	Returns all bin coordinates in map projection
get_bincoords_at_points()	Returns bin coordinates only in the neighbourhood of points
