In production it has been found that some NSS data includes symbology IDs other than 1 which is the only one that appears in the documentation. Doppler radars detect atmospheric precipitation and winds, which allow scientists to track and anticipate weather events, such as rain, ice pellets, snow, hail, and tornadoes, as well as some non-weather objects like birds and insects. NWS WSR-88D Level II Data Collection, Distribution, and Archive network 2013. 11 - Doppler Radar Meteorological Observations, Part C - WSR-88D Products and Algorithms, Federal Meteorological Handbook No. These include storm structure, hail index, mesocyclone identification, tornadic vortex signature, and storm tracking information. Values are automatically parsed as integers, floats and strings as defined in the specification. Looking for U.S. government information and services? The short answer is that the National Weather Service replaced the N?Q family of products (Digital Base Reflectivity) with "super-resolution" counterparts that have the identifier N?B, where ? Level 3 data combines Level 2 data to provide additional information about the precipitation and air around the radar site. It also provides velocity data and several more advanced data outputs. I've developed parsing algorithms for that the products that I needed most for my own use. The NEXRAD system is a joint effort of the U.S. Since 2003, the IEM has been generating and archiving nationwide mosaics of NEXRAD base reflectivity every 5 minutes. In production NSS data that is truncated has been found. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. sent to the National Centers for Environmental Information by the NWS WSR-88D National Level II (NL2) system. Radar messages for Level 3 are sent by the radar site to users in order to know more about the radar status and special product data. This dataset consists of Level 3 weather radar products collected from Next-Generation Radar (NEXRAD) stations located in the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories and at military base sites. |0x0012|Tornado Vortex Signature| However, denser vertical sampling at lower elevation angles provides better vertical definition of storms, improves the detection capability of radars impacted by terrain blockage for better rainfall and snowfall estimates, results in the identification of more storms, and provides quicker updates. NEXRAD is a network of 160 high-resolution Doppler weather radars operated by the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the U.S. Air Force (USAF). If nothing happens, download GitHub Desktop and try again. The NEXRAD system detects precipitation and wind, and its data can be processed to map precipitation patterns and movement.

Level II data is continuously transmitted and archived from all DOC, DoD and DOT WSR-88D systems and are available via FTP download (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/nexradinv/choosesite.jsp), The interface control document describing the NEXRAD RPG Level II data format is available at: https://www.roc.noaa.gov/wsr88d/BuildInfo/Files.aspx, The interface control document describing the TDWR SPG Level II data format is available at: https://www.roc.noaa.gov/spg, The interface control document describing the NPN data format is available at: https://www.roc.noaa.gov/wsr88d/PublicDocs/ENG/2620074 NPN to Class 1 User ICD Bld 4.0.pdf. The recommended practice is to test that your desired data structure exists in the returned object before doing any further processing with it. Level II data only consists of Base Reflectivity (0.5 dBz increments), Radial Velocity (1kt increments), and Spectrum Width. These mosaics are generated by combining the 130+ individual RADARs that comprise the NEXRAD network. The upgraded Super Resolution data provides radar reflectivity at 0.5 degree azimuthal by 250 m range gate resolution to a range of 460 km, and Doppler velocity and spectrum width at 0.5 degree azimuthal by 250 m range gate resolution to a range of 300 km. It also creates confusion, as on Thursday 3 April, when the IEM webfarm grinds to a halt, but the nexrad service chugs along happily.

I suspect you would want the level III data as it more accurately delivers what I think you want ( 1 & 3 hour storm totals, and storm total precip) and also the floater FNEXRAD to get the 1 Km mosaic of base reflectivity. The earlier Legacy Resolution data provides radar reflectivity at 1.0 degree azimuthal by 1 km range gate resolution to a range of 460 km, and Doppler velocity and spectrum width at 1.0 degree azimuthal by 250 m range gate resolution to a range of 230 km.

Part II: Development of Operational Doppler Weather Radars, NWS Next Generation RADar (NEXRAD) Level 2 Data, Ongoing - data is continually being updated. It will plot raster data created by the package mentioned above but there are several limitations that will be addressed in future releases. An example of plotting data produced from this library can be found in nexrad-level-3-plot. Use Git or checkout with SVN using the web URL. Level 1 is used internally by the system and converted to Level 2 which is made available to end users. Usage is straight forward, provide a string or buffer containing any of the available products. The products assist forecasters and others in weather analysis, forecasts, warnings and weather tracking. Disclaimer/FAQ. This book describes the needs for end user communities, focusing in particular on needs that are not being met by current urban-level forecasting and monitoring. Level II is the radar data after a small amount of initial processing. Testing for the correct value for known separators and other fixed values in the specification. Overlay products for Level 3 are alphanumeric data that give detailed information on certain parameters for an identified storm cell. In production it has been found that some NSS data includes symbology IDs other than 1 which is the only one that appears in the documentation. Before you start getting the data, decide what you want to do with it by adding lines to your pqact.conf configuration file for decoding or filing the data.

You can create your > own algorithm to determine rain rates based upon reflectivity values. General products for Level 3 include the base and composite reflectivity, storm relative velocity, vertical integrated liquid, echo tops and VAD wind profile. Dual Pol radar capability adds vertical polarization to the previous horizontal radar waves, in order to more accurately discern the return signal.
