Struct CompositeReflectivity 

pub struct CompositeReflectivity;

Composite reflectivity (CREF) — the maximum reflectivity at each geographic point across all elevation tilts.

This is one of the most commonly used derived products in operational meteorology. It provides a plan view of the strongest echoes in the scan regardless of altitude, making it useful for identifying convective storms.

Algorithm

For each cell in the output geographic grid:

1. Convert the cell center to a polar coordinate for each elevation tilt
2. Sample the reflectivity value at that polar coordinate from each sweep field
3. Take the maximum valid value across all tilts

Example

use nexrad_process::derived::CompositeReflectivity;
use nexrad_process::ScanDerivedProduct;

let cref = CompositeReflectivity;
let field = cref.compute(&scan, &ref_fields, &coord_sys, &extent, (800, 800))?;
