@dopplerchase Thanks for the PR! The errors seem to be PEP8 fixes. |

@dopplerchase - is there anything we can do to help here? |

no worries 😄 that is a good point!! |

I'm glad to hear that someone has encountered a similar bug. When directly using the function |
Code for issue #1559, where composite reflectivity code carried artifacts through with poor quality radar data from velocity sweeps. I also made a change to the interpolator because it was flagged as depreciated (e.g., scipy.interpolate.interp2d).
This is now open for comment from the maintainers! Happy to make changes as needed.
Example usage:
compz = pyart.retrieve.composite_reflectivity(radar, field="reflectivity")The code is flexible, and allows you to still have the old functionality through the simple bool:
compz = pyart.retrieve.composite_reflectivity(radar, field="reflectivity",same_nyquist=False)
