emc2.simulator.radar_moments.calc_total_reflectivity

emc2.simulator.radar_moments.calc_total_reflectivity(model, detect_mask=False)[source]

This method calculates the total (convective + stratiform) reflectivity (Ze).

Parameters:
model: :func:`emc2.core.Model` class

The model to calculate the parameters for.

detect_mask: bool

True - generating a mask determining signal below noise floor.

Returns:
model: emc2.core.Model()

The xarray Dataset containing the calculated radar moments.
