Data Product: Ka ARM Zenith Radar (KAZR), in CfRadial format: precipitation mode, corrected

Dataset Johnson, Karen ; Giangrande, Scott

The KAZRCFRCOR Value Added Product (VAP) performs several corrections to the ingested KAZR data and also creates a significant detection mask for each radar mode. The VAP computes gaseous attenuation as a function of time and radial distance from the radar antenna, based on ambient relative humidity, and corrects observed reflectivities for that effect. KAZR reflectivities are also corrected in the antenna ‘nearfield’ range to compensate for the near-field antenna pattern and gain. KAZRCFRCOR also dealiases mean Doppler velocities, to correct velocities whose magnitudes exceed the radar’s Nyquist velocity. This dataset contains the 'kazrpr' (precipitation) mode output from this VAP.

Data Product: Ka ARM Zenith Radar (KAZR), in CfRadial format: general mode, corrected

Dataset Toto, Tami ; Giangrande, Scott

The ‘kazrcfrcorge’ dataset is created by the KAZRCFRCOR VAP, which operates on ingested KAZR cfRadial-formatted data in conjunction with interpolated soundings to create significant detection masks, correct KAZR reflectivities for gaseous attenuation, and dealias mean Doppler velocities. This dataset serves as an input to the KAZR-ARSCL VAP.
