2. Simple Usage Examples

Some simple use-case scenarios are illustrated in the example folder

Here is a list of jupyter noteboks that will guide you thorugh the basic steps to effectively use snowScatt

2.1. List snowScatt Library content

In this notebook you will learn how to have a basic command on snowScatt, list its modules and the snow particle properties included in the snowLibrary basic_usage.

2.2. Microphysical properties of snow

In this example you will use snowScatt to calculate the microphysical properties of some snow types. You will make plots of mass, area and fall velocity using different hydrodynamic models microphysics.

2.3. Scattering properties of snow

This notebook shows how to use snowscatt to compute the basic scattering properties of one type of snow. It shows how to use the default configuration and how to overload the mass information in order to match some user-defined values single_scattering.

2.4. Multifrequency Doppler radar simulations

This is a basic application example on how to use snowScatt to make simple Doppler radar simulations and evaluate the multifrequency characteristic of different snow types radar_example.

2.5. Create a Look Up Table

If you do not wish to integrate python or snowScatt in your production environment, but you still want to use snowScatt properties it might be useful for you to know how to write a Look Up Table from snowScatt to a text or a netCDF file tutorial_lut.
