"""Return the simulated radar reflectivity.
This functions extracts the necessary variables from the NetCDF file
object in order to perform the calculation.
Args:
wrfin (:class:`netCDF4.Dataset`, :class:`Nio.NioFile`, or an \
iterable): WRF-ARW NetCDF
data as a :class:`netCDF4.Dataset`, :class:`Nio.NioFile`
or an iterable sequence of the aforementioned types.
timeidx (:obj:`int` or :data:`wrf.ALL_TIMES`, optional): The
desired time index. This value can be a positive integer,
negative integer, or
:data:`wrf.ALL_TIMES` (an alias for None) to return
all times in the file or sequence. The default is 0.
method (:obj:`str`, optional): The aggregation method to use for
sequences. Must be either 'cat' or 'join'.
'cat' combines the data along the Time dimension.
'join' creates a new dimension for the file index.
The default is 'cat'.
squeeze (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to False to prevent dimensions
with a size of 1 from being automatically removed from the shape
of the output. Default is True.
cache (:obj:`dict`, optional): A dictionary of (varname, ndarray)
that can be used to supply pre-extracted NetCDF variables to the
computational routines. It is primarily used for internal
purposes, but can also be used to improve performance by
eliminating the need to repeatedly extract the same variables
used in multiple diagnostics calculations, particularly when using
large sequences of files.
Default is None.
meta (:obj:`bool`, optional): Set to False to disable metadata and
return :class:`numpy.ndarray` instead of
:class:`xarray.DataArray`. Default is True.
_key (:obj:`int`, optional): A caching key. This is used for internal
purposes only. Default is None.
use_varint (:obj:`bool`, optional): When set to False,
the intercept parameters are assumed constant
(as in MM5's Reisner-2 bulk microphysical scheme).
When set to True, the variable intercept
parameters are used as in the more recent version of Reisner-2
(based on Thompson, Rasmussen, and Manning, 2004, Monthly weather
Review, Vol. 132, No. 2, pp. 519-542.).
use_liqskin (:obj:`bool`, optional): When set to True, frozen particles
that are at a temperature above freezing are assumed to scatter
as a liquid particle. Set to False to disable.
Returns:
:class:`xarray.DataArray` or :class:`numpy.ndarray`: The simulated
radar reflectivity.
If xarray is enabled and the *meta* parameter is True, then the result
will be a :class:`xarray.DataArray` object. Otherwise, the result will
be a :class:`numpy.ndarray` object with no metadata.
