The files include following level 1 data: (1) Doppler spectrum moments of all targets (including insects) (2) Doppler spectrum moments of hydrometeors only based on the method by Bauer-Pfundstein and Goersdorf (2007). Radar reflectivity is corrected in the antenna near field. There was no correction applied for attenuation
Limitations: none
