Abstract: The diversity of raw data file formats is a problem for application of CINRAD (China New Generation Radar) data. In order to solve this problem, different data file formats of CINRAD are analyzed, an auto-identification method is proposed. Raw data file formats are identified by auto-analysis of binary information. The proposed method is of simple flow, high accuracy rate and high expandability, it can be applied before module reading by radar data, and thus makes software compatible with various radar data formats at low expense.

Key words: weather radar, radar raw data, raw data format, auto-identification
