OverviewΒΆ
PEAKO is a supervised radar Doppler spectrum peak finding algorithm. It finds the optimal parameters for detecting peaks in cloud radar Doppler spectra using user-generated training data.

The current release is tailored to use cloud radar Doppler spectra netcdf files. The files are in a format which is currently under discussion in the Cloudnet community. Changes are likely to be made in the future, and Peako will have to be adjusted to work with the most current spectra file format. The cloudnet community will hopefully share their routines for bringing spectra files from different cloud radars into the desired format. Ongoing discussion is happening in the Cloudnet forum.
