calc_radar_reflectivity_conv
(instrument, model, hyd_type)[source]¶ This estimates the radar reflectivity given a profile of liquid water mixing ratio. Convective DSDs are assumed.
- Parameters
- instrument: :func:`emc2.core.Instrument` class
The instrument to calculate the reflectivity parameters for.
- model: :func:`emc2.core.Model` class
The model to calculate the parameters for.
- hyd_type: str
The assumed hydrometeor type. Must be one of: ‘cl’ (cloud liquid), ‘ci’ (cloud ice), ‘pl’ (liquid precipitation), ‘pi’ (ice precipitation).
- Returns
- model:
emc2.core.Model()
Returns a Model with an added reflectivity field.
