Hi.

There needs to be a full definition of the quantity that is more precise than the sentence below. Keep in mind that not every quantity needs a standard name. I have one question in particular. Is this a quantity that is comparable across different radars?

Grace and peace,

Jim

Folks,

Are there any opinion and/or thoughts to adding this standard name?

Thanks,

    I would like to request a standard name for a variable that
    defines the quality of a ground based radar based on the combined
    measure of beam blockage and the effects of vertical profile of
    reflectivity.

    There is no such standard name available nor does an existing one
    meet the requirements.

    The name should be:  radar_quality_index
    Units : dimensionless (1)

    Thanks
    Brian
