Patrick,

The simplest masking I do with the gridded data is:
GDPFUN   = mask(n0r,sge(net,5))

That only plots the reflectivity where the echo tops are
greater than 5km. 

Our snow in particular can have low tops, so in the precipitation
type plot, I only mask the reflectivity with the echo tops
where the type is rain.

To do true AP or ground clutter supression requires the level 2 radar
volume rather than the level III products.
