Thresholds of cloud type Determined.

	Thresholds	- relationship
Warm stratiform precipitation	15 dBZ < < 35 dBZ and > 267 K
Cold stratiform precipitation	15 dBZ < < 35 dBZ and 241 K < ≤ 267 K
Mixed precipitation	15 dBZ < < 35 dBZ and 221 K < ≤ 241 K
Warm convective precipitation	35 dBZ ≤ < 50 dBZ and > 267 K
Cold convective precipitation	() 35 dBZ ≤ < 50 dBZ and ≤ 267 K; () ≥ 50 dBZ or ≤ 221 K
