-If sounding data varies in time, sounding data in a non-gridded data format (SPDB) will need to be ingested. SPDB data can come from either observations or numerical simulations (e.g., RAP or HRRR). For additional information regarding this data format, please see the documentation here ('''insert link when written''').

-Overall, RadxRate builds upon the capabilities of [http://wiki.lrose.net/index.php/RadxKdp RadxKdp] and [http://wiki.lrose.net/index.php/RadxPid RadxPid] by calculating hourly rain rates at each radar gate depending on the local PID category and polarimetric values. It shares parameters files with those two applications. RadxRate will calculate the rain rates with either raw or attenuated-corrected data; the user can choose the option they prefer. The three-dimensional rain rates produced by RadxRate can be then used in [http://wiki.lrose.net/index.php/RadxQpe RadxQpe] to estimate the rain rate closest to the surface, after accounting for beam blockage, noise, and clutter.
