- Data evaluated:
BALTRAD 2019-09-24 - 2019-10-31 /CN19
BALTRAD 2012-2017 /CN22
Overall bejab looks good while bewid seems to have more issues. Some gaps due to sd_vvp in bejab, ground clutter issues in bewid. Some rain contamination. /CN19
BALTRAD 2012-2017: Only 1.5 months of data available at end of 2017, and only for bewid. Not evaluated further. /CN22
0: not available, 1: available, 2: poor quality, 3: good quality

- Has DBHZ and TH, but does not submit VRADH to BALTRAD (and therefore not included in BALTRAD 2019 export) because that parameter is unreliable due to the low Nyquist velocity of this radar. Could be asked to submit this anyway, but would only work for nights without rain. /PD20
Some gaps due to sd_vvp threshold. /CN19
- Ground clutter and overall somewhat messy. /CN19
- Has hardware problems since 2020-04-03 and decided to stop submitting to third parties (including BALTRAD) until fixed. Should be automatically submit again at later point. /PD20
- Managed by Skeyes, not KMI. /PD20
- Radar is end-of-life, with replacement expected in coming years. /PD20
- Has strong filtering at radar processor level and therefore not useful for quantitative studies. /PD20
