Overview
Thermodynamic soundings are important in RadxPid because temperature helps distinguish between liquid and frozen hydrometeors. Soundings can be ingested into RadxPid in three ways:
- entered manually in the PID thresholds file - only one sounding is allowed.
- estimated from model output (Grib2toMdv, Mdv2SoundingSpdb) - this is the preferred method.
- observed sounding downloaded and converted from native format to SPDB - described below.
