ave_cre_from_radname

nawdex_analysis.analysis.ave_cre.ave_cre_from_radname(radname, itime, factor=-1, **kwargs)

Calculate Cloud-radiative effect (CRE) for different cloud types.

Parameters:

• radname (str) – name of toa allsky radiation file
• itime (int) – time index of data fields (‘swf_net’ and ‘lwf’) in radname
• factor (float) – factor used to convert direction conversion (outward vs. inward)
• filepart (str, optional, default = '-scaled') – part in the file that gives information about scaling of clear-sky fields either ‘-scaled’ or ‘-not_scaled’

Returns:

outset – dataset containing average longwave, short-wave CRE and area fractions depending on cloud type

Return type:

xarray Dataset
