- Abstract
WRaINfo is a software for real-time weather radar data processing developed by the Helmholtz Innovation Lab FERN.Lab, a technology and innovation platform of the German Research Centre for Geosciences Potsdam (GFZ). WRaINfo is specifically designed for processing X-band weather radar data of FURUNO devices. The modules of the package allow to read and process raw data of the WR2120 and WR2100. For this purpose, many functions of the library wradlib are used and adapted. The processing is controlled by a configuration file, main functionalities include formatting, attenuation correction, clutter detection, georeferencing and gridding of the data. This allows the construction of reproducible, automatic data processing chains. The package is written in the Python programming language. The source code is publicly available on GitLab. Compiled versions are also available on PyPi. The package is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license.
