☀️ Suncal
Suncal is a software package for solar calibration of radar data respecting the ODIM H5 convention. It utilizes radio noise from the Sun to check the quality of dual-polarization weather radar receivers for the S-band and C-band.
Installation
Suncal has been published on PyPI under the repository name solarcal:
pip install solarcal
To use it in your python script:
python
import suncal
