pyLRT - A simple python interface for LibRadTran
A python interface to LibRadTran, along with usage examples (see below). Simplifies the repeated running of uvspec and parses the verbose output
PYQUICKBEAM - Radar simulation in python
Do you want to simulate radar reflectivity profiles from model output? Of course you do!
pyQuickBeam is a simple way to do this, providing a simulator equivalent to QuickBeam v1.1a. This is approximately equivalent to the radar simulator in COSPv2, but can handle a variety of droplet size distribution.
This simulator was used in White et al. (ACP, 2017) to produce the figure below.
