<strong>wradlib</strong> <strong>Documentation</strong>, Release 0.1.1<br />

Parameters projname : string (proj.4 projection acronym)<br />

kwargs : depends on projname - see above!<br />

Returns output : string (a proj.4 projection string)<br />

Examples<br />

>>> # Gauss-Krueger 2nd strip<br />

>>> print create_projstr("gk", zone=2)<br />

>>> # UTM zone 51 (northern hemisphere)<br />

>>> print create_projstr("utm", zone=51)<br />

>>> # UTM zone 51 (southern hemisphere)<br />

>>> print create_projstr("utm", zone=51, hemisphere="south")<br />

3.5.8 <strong>wradlib</strong>.georef.projected_bincoords_from_radarspecs<br />

<strong>wradlib</strong>.georef.projected_bincoords_from_radarspecs(r, az, sitecoords, projstr,<br />

range_res=None)<br />

Convenience function to compute projected bin coordinates directly from radar site coordinates and<br />

range/azimuth specs<br />

Parameters r : array<br />

array of ranges [m]; r defines the exterior boundaries of the range bins! (not the centroids).<br />

Thus, values must be positive!<br />

az : array<br />

sitecoords : tuple<br />

array of azimuth angles containing values between 0° and 360°. The angles are assumed<br />

to describe the pointing direction fo the main beam lobe! The first angle can start at<br />

any values, but make sure the array is sorted continuously positively clockwise and the<br />

angles are equidistant. An angle if 0 degree is pointing north.<br />

projstr : string<br />

proj.4 projection string<br />

range_res : float<br />

range resolution of radar measurement [m] in case it cannot be derived from r (single<br />

entry in r-array)<br />

3.6 Interpolation<br />

Interpolation allows to transfer data from one set of locations to another. This includes for example:<br />

• interpolating the data from a polar grid to a cartesian grid or irregular points<br />

• interpolating point observations to a grid or a set of irregular points<br />

• filling missing values, e.g. filling clutters<br />

Nearest<br />

Nearest-neighbour interpolation in N dimensions.<br />
