Description

DB_VELC moment data (1-byte unfolded velocity) from IRIS/Sigmet raw data files is read as int16 instead uint8. Currently, no decode function is used at all for DB_VELC, see https://github.com/openradar/xradar/blob/23ff1126dcb361f26fe2fc84ef13fdd5aecfb576/xradar/io/backends/iris.py#L1883-L1884).
