For level 3, radar reflectivity resolution is 0.5 degree azimuthal by 250 m range gate to a range of 460 km, and Doppler velocity and spectrum width at 0.5 degree azimuthal by 250 m range gate resolution to a range of 300 km. > However, I am displaying .25km 8-bit products > for everything except base reflectivity. What product to you mean by base reflectivity, and how are you loading it? Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: KLE-673390 Department: Support AWIPS Priority: Normal Status: Open
