Hey guys,
I am currently working on the project and have a difficulty to open .txt file in Matlab. This .txt file contains rainfall radar data in matrix (numbers) form, [m,n] = [360,90]. Below is the data I am having troble with.**
.......................................................................................
Projection Metadata:
Radar number 54
Number of radials in scan 360
Number of range bins in scan 90
Starting range 127500.000000
Maximum range 150000.000000
Azimuth of first radial -0.500000
Azimuth of last radial 359.500000
Range bin size 250.000
Separation between radials 1.000
Projection POLAR
Units METRES DEGREES
Spheroid GRS80
Parameters :
Latitude of radar (degrees) -34.017000
Longitude of radar (degrees) 151.230000
Beam elevation angle (0 for CAPPI) 0.000
Scan metadata :
Time (seconds since 01/01/1970) 973199701
Time (dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss) 02/11/2000 21:15:01
Time zone (seconds ahead of UTC) 0
Time zone (hours ahead of UTC) +0.0
Data type flag 9
Data type Reflectivity
Data units dBZ

**As you can see the first 29 text lines as well as the last text line need to be skipped.
I would be really appreciated if anybody can help me open up this file in matlab in the form of
matrix [row,column] = [360,90].**
Thank you very much for your time.
