Re: NCL Question

I think that this might be better answered by WRF [wrfhelp_at_ucar.edu].
I am cc'ing them.

I know that RIP can calculate the quantity. From RIP documentation:
"...simulated equivalent radar reflectivity factor, based on the mixing
     ratios of rain, snow, and graupel". .....
"See comments in routine "dbzcalc.f" for more details."

I speculate it would be some simple application of formulas.
Certainly, NCL could plot the result.

Good luck
