[ncl-talk] Sim reflectivity not plotting

[Ryan Connelly]

Hey Kacie,

I am purposely interpolating it to a plane so that I can make an apples to
apples comparison to a 2 km interpolation of radar data without having to
deal with beam height uncertainty.  Otherwise you're right, you can just
call dbz directly, and I think it defaults to the lowest level?
