Hi Kyoko,

I was talking to Lansing a few minutes ago when he mentioned that you
were trying to find out what the values for the NEXRAD Level III HHC
product represented.  Since I knew the answer, Lansing asked me to
pass the information along to you...

The document you are looking for is:

ICD For RPG to CLASS 1 User – Build xx.x

These can be found on the NOAA website:

http://www.roc.noaa.gov/WSR88D/BuildInfo/Files.aspx

The most up to date version is currently 14.0:

http://www.roc.noaa.gov/wsr88d/PublicDocs/ICDS/2620001U.pdf

Page 3-38 of this document has a table that describes what each
level means:

Data Level    Displayed Code       Hydrometeor Classification
    0             ND               Below Threshold
   10             BI               Biological
   20             GC               Anomalous Propagation/Ground Clutter
   30             IC               Ice Crystals
   40             DS               Dry Snow
   50             WS               Wet Snow
   60             RA               Light and/or Moderate Rain
   70             HR               Heavy Rain
   80             BD               Big Drops (rain)
   90             GR               Graupel
  100             HA               Hail, possibly with rain
  140             UK               Unknown Classification
  150             RF               Range Folded

NB: levels 110, 120 and 130 are not (yet) used.

I hope that this helps...

Cheers,

Tom
