Locate Noise floor level for a spectral data in Python - Ranjan_Pal - Dec-19-2020

There is frequency spectrum which looks as such in this link:

(Reference: https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ijrc/2010/546217/ )

The noise floor exists at -100dB.

How do we locate this noise floor level (in this case it is -100dB) without plotting the graph for any genral signal in Python?

If somebody could please let me know how do we go about this, I would be very much thankful.
