Overview

ProRad in it's current configuration is capable of making mosaics, or composites, from 2D products, process polar volume data, produce 2D products from processed volume data to mention a few highlights.

The processing suite for 2D data and polar volumes includes

VPR correction

clutter classification (sea, ground, sun flare - limited testing for RLAN interference)

beam blockage calculation for 2D products and polar volumes

precipitation classification - currently based on NWP data

accumulations

projections of 2D products (Proj4)

The ProRad meta-data structure and ProRad XML file format used for storing 2D products and polar volumes, contains flags for storing information on

clutter classification (e.g. sun flare, sea clutter, ground clutter)

clutter probability

beam blockage percent (geometric)

precipitation classification (NWP based classification)
