Hi, i have modified the postcntrl_wrf.xml and added the following lines

<param>
<shortname>REFD_ON_ISOBARIC_SFC</shortname>
<pname>REFD</pname>
<level>5000. 7000. 10000. 12500. 15000. 17500. 20000. 22500. 25000. 27500. 30000. 32500. 35000. 37500. 40000. 45000. 50000. 55000. 60000. 65000. 70000. 75000. 80000. 85000. 90000. 95000.</level>
<scale>4.0</scale>
</param>

Then i have updated my grib2 plain text configuration file and run upp 4.0 with success and the new var - REFD is in the output. The problem i face is that the units are unknown to me. When i use REFC_ON_ENTIRE_ATMOS or REFD_ON_HYBRID_LVL, the units are dBz in the range from 0-100 and i know what to do with them, but REFD_ON_ISOBARIC_SFC units are from 0 to 8000. Does anybody has a clue what is the difference and where to find more information?
