Overview of raw MIRA data files • *.pds: raw files, currently deleted after 4 days for JOYCE • *.zspc (binary): compressed Doppler spectra for each height • *.dmp (binary): moments (SNR, VEL, RMS, LDR) for each peak in each height • *.mmclx (netcdf): moments SNR, VEL, Z, RMS for all scatterers and for different scatterer types (hydrometeors, plankton, rain, cloud) classification algorithm applied HD(CP)2 level 1 data
