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)
