Output data

RVP10 output data for standard moment calculations include:
  • mean radial velocity (V)
  • spectrum width (W)
  • corrected reflectivity (Z or dBZ)
  • uncorrected reflectivity (T or dBT)

Other data outputs include I/Q time series, DFT/FFT power spectrum points, and polarization parameters.

The output can be made in either 8-bit or 16-bit format. 16-bit format is preferred for most applications. Time series and DFT are always 16-bit formats.

A standard output is the I/Q time series on gigabit network (1000 BaseT). These are sent using UDP broadcast to an I/Q archiving system or an independent parallel processing system.
