ASCII files including the following parameters:
Coverage and resolution:
Spatial coverage: between 400 km x 400 km and 800 km x 800 km horizontally, 6 km vertically;
Postscript files contain reflectivity for each radar antenna (DBZF and DBZA)
Radial Velocities for each antenna (VGA and VGF), vorticity (VORT),
divergence (DIV), vertical motion (WUP and WVAR) all superimposed
on the wind field vectors (WF). There are horizontal plots of each of these
at levels between 0.4 km and 5.2 km at an interval of 0.4 km.
