behel: no vp files #92

Closed peterdesmet closed 4 years ago

peterdesmet commented 4 years ago

behel is submitting pvol data to BALTRAD since 2018, but vp data are not created and the radar code is not known in the OPERA database.

@leijnse Is this a new code for bezav (which is in the OPERA database, but has no data on BALTRAD)?

Note that the processing functions as expected for:

bejab
bewid

This is the Helchteren radar, see https://www.cnc-nkc.be/sites/default/files/report/file/nc7_en_lr.pdf

radial velocity data is missing in the pvol, therefore no vp generated

peterdesmet commented 4 years ago

To verify before closing: https://github.com/enram/data-repository/issues/91

One note of caution: the fact that radial velocity data is missing in the pvol can be a Baltrad issue with the merging. I would say for all countries with this issue it needs to be checked whether the data really are not being sent, or that they simply do not end up in the final pvol file.

behel does have additional files per timestamp, so I assume merging is going on. I currently don't have access to the files themselves, so I cannot check if the source files contain VRADH.

The hex codes in the additional files are 0x1|0x2, but I don't know yet how to translate them (see enram/data-repository#83).

leijnse commented 4 years ago

The issue with the radar in Helchteren is that they don't use dual-PRF, which means that the velocity data is badly aliased, making it useless for vol2bird. So I wouldn't put too much effort into data from this radar.
