vol2bird: Vertical profiling of biological scatterers from weather radar data

Description

All issues and PRs included in this release can be found here.

New features:

  • new vol2bird.sh script for running vol2bird, which sets up required library paths and environmental variables automatically (#152)
  • new -c command line argument to specify vol2bird configuration file, allowing different names than options.conf (#186)
  • add range data to pointsarray output (#173)

Changes:

  • change default maximum range to 35 km, for consistency with bioRad methods paper (#117)
  • updated dependencies rave and hlhdf

Bugfixes:

  • address crash that occured when certain NEXRAD files fail to decompress (#196 and ar2v decompression fails)
  • fixes a bug that lead to profile generation aborts for files containing scans with a correlation coefficient moment, but missing either reflectivity or radial velocity (#195)
  • bugfix for erroneous values outside of mistnet prediction area, changed those to NODATA (#168)
  • bugfix of incorrect read of nyquist velocity and range resolution for specific NEXRAD files (#166)
  • bugfix for calculating a profile when elevation scans miss data along large sections of the azimuth circle (#163)
  • bugfix for compatibility with NEXRAD RDA/RPG build > 19.0 (which adds new moment in the nexrad data format, CFP data) (#158)
  • bugfix addressing incorrect loading of cluttermaps defined at a coarser ray resolution than the polar volume data (#153)
  • bugfix for handling files where multiple scans in a volume have identical elevations (#148, #150)
