José,

It would be helpful if you could provide a link to the data you are
downloading for me and others to give
you an informed response. You could simply be looking at color values, or
they could be radar reflectivity
values (dBZ), or precipitation amounts, or wind velocities — not to mention
what the units of the data. This
would come from the metadata of the data you are using.

More information is needed.

 Hello everyone,

 I georefered several RADAR GIF from a desired storm in my research and
 realized there are some numbers set as an attribute in the pixels, beside
 the pixel RGB color.

 I found GIF generally is an option to export original CAPPI and PPI RADAR
 images.

 Such original RADAR images contains Unsigned Character Values set to the
 pixels.

 So I'm wondering what that GIF pixel attribute values could mean.

 I'd appriciate any kind of answer

Have you try  ogr2ogr every Shapefile
http://www.spatiallyadjusted.com/2012/12/07/ogr2ogr-every-shapefile/   ?
This allows me to restore some shapefiles with problems

[GRASS-user] Are RADAR GIFs raster?

Thomas,

here is an example.

http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/index_loop.php

Choose a Mosaic Sector.

Next, pick a State and a RADAR location (left side menu).

Unmark other layers than the RADAR images.

Then you can download the image by right-clicking on it.

Thank you very much

Jose

José https://plus.google.com/u/0/109748848159632478544?prsrc=4,

I'm very familiar with these data and how they are produced. I think by
doing what you are doing, you are only getting color values of the data;
so, unless you're interested -only- in pretty pictures of radar
*reflectivity*, this is useless. You should go here:

http://water.weather.gov/precip/

to get precipitation data and click on the 'Download' tab which will get
you here:

http://water.weather.gov/precip/download.php

The data downloads as shapefiles, so you'll have to do some spatial
interpolation. This data has been quality control much better than what you
could get through the link you were using.
