ELDORA Data comes with certain fields already named. The convention is to edit the DBZ and VG fields. Suggested fieldnames for intermediate fields are also given, although there is generally no standard convention for these.
Reserved Field Names
DBZ = Reflectivity
VG = Ground-relative Doppler Velocity
VR = Aircraft-relative Doppler Velocity
VL = Long-pulse PRT Doppler Velocity
VS = Short-pulse PRT Doppler Velocity
NCP = Normalized Coherent Power
SW = Spectral Width
Suggested Field Names
ZZ = Original Reflectivity
VV = Original Ground-relative Doppler Velocity
VU = Unfolded Doppler Velocity
V1,V2,V3, etc. = Intermediate edited velocity fields
Z1,Z2,Z3, etc. = Intermediate edited reflectivity fields
ZA, VA = Automatically edited reflectivity & velocity fields (final step before manual editing)
