class Radar(object):
    """
    A class for storing antenna coordinate radar data.

    The structure of the Radar class is based on the CF/Radial Data file
    format.  Global attributes and variables (section 4.1 and 4.3) are
    represented as a dictionary in the metadata attribute.  Other required and
    optional variables are represented as dictionaries in a attribute with the
    same name as the variable in the CF/Radial standard.  When a optional
    attribute not present the attribute has a value of None.  The data for a
    given variable is stored in the dictionary under the 'data' key.  Moment
    field data is stored as a dictionary of dictionaries in the fields
    attribute.  Sub-convention variables are stored as a dictionary of
    dictionaries under the meta_group attribute.

    Refer to the attribute section for information on the parameters.

    Attributes
    ----------
    time : dict
        Time at the center of each ray.
    range : dict
        Range to the center of each gate (bin).
    fields : dict of dicts
        Moment fields.
    metadata : dict
        Metadata describing the instrument and data.
    scan_type : str
        Type of scan, one of 'ppi', 'rhi', 'sector' or 'other'.  If the scan
        volume contains multiple sweep modes this should be 'other'.
    latitude : dict
        Latitude of the instrument.

        Longitude of the instrument.
    altitude : dict
        Altitude of the instrument, above sea level.
    altitude_agl : dict or None
        Altitude of the instrument above ground level.  If not provided this
        attribute is set to None, indicating this parameter not available.
    sweep_number : dict
        The number of the sweep in the volume scan, 0-based.
    sweep_mode : dict
        Sweep mode for each mode in the volume scan.

        indicating these parameters are not avaiable.  This dictionary also
        includes variables in the radar_parameters CF/Radial subconvention.
