Interface RadialDatasetSweep

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, FeatureDataset, FileCacheable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractRadialAdapter, CFRadialAdapter, Dorade2RadialAdapter, Nexrad2RadialAdapter, NidsRadialAdapter, NsslRadialAdapter, UF2RadialAdapter

public interface RadialDatasetSweep
extends FeatureDataset

A RadialDataset in which the radials can be grouped into sweeps. A sweep has the same gate geometry for all radials in the sweep, and has a RadialDatasetSweep.Type.

Method Detail

getRadarID

String getRadarID()

Returns:

radar id

getRadarName

String getRadarName()

Returns:

radar name

getDataFormat

String getDataFormat()

Returns:

data format

getCommonType

RadialDatasetSweep.Type getCommonType()

If all the sweeps are the same type, return it here, else NONE

Returns:

type of sweep, or NONE

getCommonOrigin

EarthLocation getCommonOrigin()

If all sweeps have the same origin, return it here, else null

Returns:

common origin, or null

getTimeUnits

DateUnit getTimeUnits()

Get the units of Calendar time. To get a Date, from a time value, call DateUnit.getStandardDate(double value). To get units as a String, call DateUnit.getUnitsString().

Returns:

units of Calendar time

isStationary

boolean isStationary()

Stationary versus moving radar.

Returns:

true if this is stationary.

clearDatasetMemory

void clearDatasetMemory()

Remove cached data, if any.

isVolume

boolean isVolume()

Get the basic property of Radar,

Returns:

0 if there is only one sweep

getDataVariables

List<VariableSimpleIF> getDataVariables()

The radial data variables available in the dataset.

Specified by:

getDataVariables in interface FeatureDataset

Returns:

List of type RadialDatasetSweep.RadialVariable
