Level2File#
- class metpy.io.Level2File(filename, *, has_volume_header=True)#
Handle reading the NEXRAD Level 2 data and its various messages.
This class attempts to decode every byte that is in a given data file. It supports both external compression, as well as the internal BZ2 compression that is used.
- dt#
The date and time of the data
- Type
Datetime instance
- vol_hdr#
The unpacked volume header
- Type
namedtuple
- sweeps#
Data for each of the sweeps found in the file
- Type
list of tuples
- rda_status#
Unpacked RDA status information, if found
- Type
namedtuple, optional
- maintenance_data#
Unpacked maintenance data information, if found
- Type
namedtuple, optional
- maintenance_data_desc#
Descriptions of maintenance data fields, if maintenance data present
- Type
dict, optional
- vcp_info#
Unpacked VCP information, if found
- Type
namedtuple, optional
- rda_adaptation_desc#
Descriptions of RDA adaptation data, if adaptation data present
- Type
dict, optional
Notes
The internal data structure that things are decoded into is still to be determined.

Level2File.- Parameters
filename (str or file-like object) – If str, the name of the file to be opened. Gzip-ed files are recognized with the extension ‘.gz’, as are bzip2-ed files with the extension
bz2If filename is a file-like object, this will be read from directly.
