Clutter Suppression

Excess power needed for valid dBZ
This configures IRIS ingest clutter map. If the Task Configuration Menu clutter map button is pressed, IRIS looks for a ingest file marked as the residual clutter map. All range bins containing data in the clutter map file are thresholded unless the current data is at least this much higher. If we exceed the threshold, the dBZ value is passed unchanged.
Elevation tolerance for matchup
When looking for the corresponding range bin in the clutter map file, the nearest elevation angle is used up to this maximum difference. If none is found, then no correction is applied.
Non-zero velocity criterion
If this is set to Check Velocity then data which would pass the excess power test is thresholded if the velocity is near 0.
Clutter map in ReINGEST
If this is set to Enabled, the Clutter_map filter is applied to the data in reingest. The filter is only applied if no other clutter map filter has been used. The ingest file from that radar site must have the same task name and be marked as the clutter map.
