As I am trying the compared the image with the observation of CPR (94hz cloud profiling radar) on CloudSat, I was wondering weather this "dbz" can be used as a direct comparison. Since weather radar (S band) and cloud profiling radar (W band) is essentially different, which band is the diagnostic "dbz" representing?
