>From: Jeffrey Buler <address@hidden> >Organization: The University of Southern Mississippi >Keywords: 200401072251.i07Mpkp2024737 IDV radar print Hi Jeff- >Thanks for your prompt reply. After considering your response, I can see a >different approach to my problem. You state, "For a Level II radar volume, >the data are stored as range, azimuth and elevation." Is there a method >available to output range, azimuth, elevation, and dBZ for each pulse >volume? Seems likely these variables must be part of some array/data >structure that can be written as ascii. They are contained in a VisAD FlatField. >If this is not possible in IDV, does UCAR offer other software to retrieve >these parameters from L2 binary archives. I'd prefer to stay within a >Windows platform since I don't currently have access to a Unix workstation. None that I know of. >>Are >> you looking for a grid at a constant altitude, or constant radar >> elevation angle? > >I am looking for a constant radar elevation angle. Birds only occur within >the 0.5 elevation angle, so this is the only data that I use. I'm just leaving on a trip and will be gone until the 20th. I think I can work up a Jython procedure which will do what you want. I'll get back to you next week on this. >I'd appreciate any assistance you can provide. Don
