Thresholding

RVP10 can accept or reject incoming real time data to remove range bins. Rejected data may include that with:

  • Weak signal power

  • Unreliable estimates of Doppler parameters

  • Polarimetric parameters that suggest echo is of undesired origin, for example not precipitation

This process is called thresholding. IRIS provides flexibility for thresholding to provide clean displays, promote efficient execution and transmission of the products, and reduce the amount of disk space required to hold compressed data and product archives.
