Function differential_reflectivity_scale 

Source
pub fn differential_reflectivity_scale() -> DiscreteColorScale
Expand description

Returns a color scale for differential reflectivity (ZDR) data.

This divergent scale shows negative values (vertically-oriented particles) in blue/purple, near-zero in gray, and positive values (horizontally-oriented particles like large raindrops) in yellow/orange/red. Range: -2 to +6 dB.

ZDR (dB)ColorMeaning
-2 to -1PurpleVertically oriented
-1 to 0BlueSlightly vertical
0 to 0.5GraySpherical particles
0.5 to 1.5Light GreenSlightly oblate
1.5 to 2.5YellowOblate drops
2.5 to 4OrangeLarge oblate drops
4 to 6RedVery large drops/hail
