Zusammenfassung |
The potential of weather radar observations for hydrological and
meteorological research and applications is undisputed, particularly with
increasing world-wide radar coverage. However, several barriers impede the
use of weather radar data. These barriers are of both scientific and
technical nature. The former refers to inherent measurement errors and
artefacts, the latter to aspects such as reading specific data formats,
geo-referencing, visualisation. The radar processing library wradlib is intended to
lower these barriers by providing a free and open source tool for the most
important steps in processing weather radar data for hydro-meteorological
and hydrological applications. Moreover, the community-based development
approach of wradlib allows scientists to share their knowledge about efficient
processing algorithms and to make this knowledge available to the weather
radar community in a transparent, structured and well-documented way. |
