8-Bit deciBel Format—The level in decibels is computed
from the unsigned byte N as:
The overall range is therefore from -31.5 dBZ to
+95.5 dBZ in half-dB steps as follows:
0 : Indicates no reflectivity data available at this range
1 : -31.5 dBZ
64 : 0.0 dBZ
128 : +32.0 dBZ
255 : +95.5 dBZ
16-Bit deciBel Format—The level in decibels is
computed from the unsigned word N as:
The overall range is from -327.67 dB to +327.66 dB in
1/100 dB steps as follows:
0 : Indicates no reflectivity data available at this range
1 : -327.67 dBZ
32768 : 0.00 dBZ
65534 : +327.66 dBZ
65535 : Reserved Code
T Selects total reflectivity. Same 8-bit and 16-bit coding
formats as for clutter corrected reflectivity above.
ZDR Selects differential reflectivity data.
8-Bit ZDR Format—The level in decibels is computed
from the unsigned byte N as:
dB = (N128) / 16
The overall range is from -7.935 dB to +7.935 dB in
1\16 dB steps as follows:
0 : Indicates no reflectivity data available at this range
1 : -7.9375 dB
128 : 0.0000 dB
255 : +7.9375 dB
16-Bit ZDR Format—Same as 16-bit deciBel format.
KDP Selects dual polarization specific differential phase data.
