emc2.simulator.lidar_moments.accumulate_OD¶
- emc2.simulator.lidar_moments.accumulate_OD(model, is_conv, z_values, hyd_type, OD_from_sfc=True, **kwargs)[source]¶
Accumulates optical thickness from TOA or the surface.
- Parameters:
- model: Model
The model to generate the parameters for.
- is_conv: bool
True if the cell is convective
- z_values: ndarray
model output height array in m.
- hyd_type: string
hydrometeor class name to include in calcuation.
- OD_from_sfc: bool
If True, then calculate optical depth from the surface.
- Returns:
- model:
emc2.core.Model() The model with the added simulated lidar parameters.
- model:
