calculation of dbz and mdbz in ncl

Hello ncl talk
I have questions about convection and reflectivity in ncl and WRF

What WRF variables are used in the calculation of dbz and mdbz in ncl?

I had a discussion with George Grell recently. I showed him mdbz model output (I used Lin mp_physics and New Grell cu_physics). He suggested I add convective rain. I do not see convective rain as a variable in WRF. Is he referring to QRAIN?
