In 2010, the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility procured 3- and 5-cm wavelength radars for documenting the macrophysical, microphysical, and dynamical structure of precipitating systems. In order to maximize the scientific impact, ARM supported the development of an application chain to correct for various phenomena in order to retrieve the lowest retrieved value on a Cartesian grid. This report details the motivation, science, and progress to date, as well as charting a path forward.
