Example (Each entry of the header line is shown in a separate line of the table) :
H - Height
Argument of the following data profiles corresponding to the settings described
in chapter 6.3.3, page 26, and chapter 6.3.4, page 28. The units are meters
above the radar system.
TF - Transfer Function
To each height step a value of the Transfer Function is assigned by which raw
spectra are divided.
Fnn with nn from 0 to 63 - FFT Spectra
Each line represents a profile of spectral reflectivity corresponding to the
spectral bin nn. As Fnn is corrected for the receiver noise floor negative values
can occur, if the signal to noise ratio is low. These entries cannot be presented
in the logarithmic domain and are replaced by space characters.
Dnn with nn from min(h) to max(h) - Drop Sizes
The drop size is described by the diameter of an equivolumic sphere. The
spectral bins of drop numbers are of variable width in the size domain (in
contrast with spectral bins in the frequency- and velocity-domain). In addition,
the widths of the size bins are slightly height dependent. Therefore the
assignment of frequency-bin-index nn to diameter D is listed explicitly for each
bin and height. The center of each size class is displayed.
