radarx.fundamentals.reflectivity.dbz_attenuation_correction(dbz, alpha=0.01, beta=0.85)[source]#

Simple attenuation correction using a power-law fit.

Parameters:

  • dbz (float or array-like) – Observed reflectivity [dBZ]

  • alpha (float) – Attenuation coefficient scale factor (unitless)

  • beta (float) – Attenuation exponent (unitless)

Returns:

float or array-like – Attenuation-corrected reflectivity [dBZ]
