<strong>wradlib</strong>.clutter.histo_cut(prec_accum)<br />

Histogram based clutter identification.<br />

This identification algorithm uses the histogram of temporal accumulated rainfall. It iteratively detects classes<br />

whose frequency falls below a specified percentage (1% by default) of the frequency of the class with the<br />

biggest frequency and remove the values from the dataset until the changes from iteration to iteration falls<br />

below a threshold. This algorithm is able to detect static clutter as well as shadings. It is suggested to choose<br />

a representative time periode for the input precipitation accumulation. The recommended time period should<br />

cover one year.<br />

Parameters prec_accum : array_like<br />

spatial array containing rain accumulation<br />

Returns output : array<br />

boolean array with pixels identified as clutter/shadings set to True.<br />

3.11 Vertical Profile of Reflectivity (VPR)<br />

UNDER DEVELOPMENT<br />

Precipitation is 3-dimensional in space. The vertical distribution of precipitation (and thus reflectivity) is typically<br />

non-uniform. As the height of the radar beam increases with the distance from the radar location (beam elevation,<br />

earth curvature), the one sweep samples from different heights. The effects of the non-uniform VPR and the differnt<br />

sampling heights need to be accounted for if we are interested in the precipiation near the ground or in defined heights.<br />

This module is intended to provide a set of tools to account for these effects.<br />
