<font face="courier new, monospace">Hi All</font><div><font face="courier new, monospace"><br></font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">I'm learning how to assimilate radar data in wrf 3dvar. There are some confusion about the format defined by the official tutorial.</font></div>
<div><font face="courier new, monospace">1) Is "elv" give the altitude of radar station? But some levels' "elv" are lower than radar in the example. </font></div><div><font face="courier new, monospace">2) How to set "qc" (I think it mean quality control mark). Is there a table defining it?</font></div>
