Radar object from unsupported data format

[Robinson]

Hello,

I have radar data in a format that is unsupported by any of the read methods. However I do have data for all the necessary arguments to create a radar object (pyart.core.Radar). I am having trouble understanding how to format each argument. Is there an example somewhere that shows how a custom radar object is made without having to read in a file?

Thanks.

Hello,

Have you taken a look at the "Basic ingest of a netcdf file" example? https://arm-doe.github.io/pyart/notebooks/basic_ingest_using_test_radar_object.html

It walks through how to feed data into the radar object.

Thanks,

Max

Hello,

An example of making a radar object with data not readable currently in Py-ART can be found here with formating of some of the coordinate info etc.:
https://arm-doe.github.io/pyart/notebooks/basic_ingest_using_test_radar_object.html

If you have multiple sweeps, but know the sweep indices, those can be plugged into:
radar.sweep_start_ray_index = sweep_start_ray_index
radar.sweep_end_ray_index = sweep_end_ray_index
