pydda.retrieval.get_bca(rad1_lon, rad1_lat, rad2_lon, rad2_lat, x, y, projparams)[source]

This function gets the beam crossing angle between two lat/lon pairs.

Parameters:

rad1_lon: float

The longitude of the first radar.

rad1_lat: float

The latitude of the first radar.

rad2_lon: float

The longitude of the second radar.

rad2_lat: float

The latitude of the second radar.

x: nD float array

The x coordinates of the grid

y: nD float array

The y corrdinates of the grid

projparams: Py-ART projparams

The projection parameters of the Grid

Returns:

bca: nD float array

The beam crossing angle between the two radars in radians.
