Short summary
Weather radar data are processed to obtain various 2D products. In this research, an algorithm of interpolation of polar reflectivity data with respect to quality index (QI) data is applied to find the Cartesian reflectivity as PPI products and generate a corresponding QI field. On this basis, quality-based algorithms for the generation of the standard products have been developed: ETOP, MAX, and VIL. Moreover a detection of convection has been defined as a specific combination of the products.
