Stonie,

Each nids product has its own table of values for its 16 levels,
so the values are dynamic for each site/product, but in general,
the precip mode dBZ are ND, 5-75-5 and clear air ND, -28-28-4.
The gini is 8 bit (eg values 0-255, where the range is specified for
each product by $GEMTBL/unidata/nex2gini.tbl.
