Gluing and Merging

Within this notebook, we glue the individual files which each contain a single sweep (elevation level), into full volume scans, where each file represents a volume scan. We have downloaded the raw data from the ARM Data portal, using the gucxprecipradarS2.00 datastream.


## You are using the Python ARM Radar Toolkit (Py-ART), an open source
## library for working with weather radar data. Py-ART is partly
## supported by the U.S. Department of Energy as part of the Atmospheric
## Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility, an Office of
## Science user facility.
