Csu radartools tutorial

Overview

---

This is a tutorial on how to use LROSE/RadX, DOE-PyART, and CSU-Radartools in a python script to quality control, grid, and process a raw C-band polarimetric radar file. We will apply a series of corrections

• Unfold radial velocity
• Calculate Kdp
• Apply thresholds to remove non-meteorological data
• Calculate the attenuation and differential attenuation
• Despeckle and remove 2nd trip

Required Modules available from GitHub
