emc2.simulator.lidar_moments.calc_total_alpha_beta¶
- emc2.simulator.lidar_moments.calc_total_alpha_beta(model, OD_from_sfc=True, eta=1)[source]¶
Calculates total (strat+conv) lidar variables.
- Parameters:
- model: Model
The model to generate the parameters for.
- ext_OD: float
The optical depth threshold for determining if the signal is extinct.
- OD_from_sfc: bool
If True, optical depth will be calculated from the surface. If False, optical depth will be calculated from the top of the atmosphere.
- LDR_per_hyd: dict or None
If a dict, the amount of LDR per hydrometeor class must be specified in a dictionary whose keywords are the model’s hydrometeor classes. If None, the default settings from the model will be used.
- eta: float
Multiple scattering coefficient.
- Returns:
- model:
emc2.core.Model() The model with the added simulated lidar parameters.
- model:
