Hello all,  
I have been trying to use the code given in [Filtering and retrievals on raw Swiss C-band data — Project Pythia Cookbook Template](https://openradarscience.org/erad2022/notebooks/pyart/exercice1_swiss_thunderstorm.html)  
to calculate rainfall. Can anybody explain to me the detailed procedure of how to prepare a temperature profile for radar object? If somebody has used other nwp models apart from Cosmo, please suggest I am not familiar with the cosmo model.
