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.

Usage is straight forward, provide a string or buffer containing any of the available products. The Level II data are Streams are not supported. Errors like this are sent to console.warn(). The work in this project is based mainly on the document 2620001 ICD FOR THE RPG TO CLASS 1 USER - Build 19.0. A custom logger such as winston or pino can be provided. Part II: Development of Operational Doppler Weather Radars, NWS Next Generation RADar (NEXRAD) Level 2 Data, Ongoing - data is continually being updated. Super resolution makes a compromise of slightly decreased noise reduction for a large gain in resolution. Available products are listed below. This dataset consists of Level III 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. Any individual block may be corrupt, but this code will continue to try the additional pointers. A test script is provided and will generate .json output from all of the files in the ./data and ./data-error folder. Level II is the radar data after a small amount of initial processing. secure websites. NOAA and NCEI cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these data. This is a 10 cm wavelength (S-Band) radar that operates at a frequency between 2,700 and 3,000 MHz. Most stations began observing in the mid-1990s, and most period of records are continuous. The Precipitation Mode uses these VCPs to better sample the vertical structure of convective weather echoes and improve temporal resolution. I'm open to requests or pull requests that add additional parsing algorithms. 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. Messages can be surpressed by passing false. The NEXRAD products are divided in two data processing levels. I've examined these other responses and have found these to be structured text. NEXRAD data are provided to the NOAA National Climatic Data Center for archiving and dissemination to users. |0x0010|Digital Radial Data Array Packet| Nexrad radar sites provide data in two formats: Level 2 and Level 3.

The pre-defined list of products are provided electronically in near real-time to the NWS Radar Product Central Collection Dissemination Service (RPCCDS) (https://www.weather.gov/media/tg/rpccds_radar_products.pdf). The parser will return an object representing the data as defined in https://www.roc.noaa.gov/wsr88d/PublicDocs/ICDs/2620001Y.pdf.

Because the data is made up of a header containing pointers to other parts of the file. Overlay products for Level 3 are alphanumeric data that give detailed information on certain parameters for an identified storm cell. Work in Progress This package is currently incomplete. A product which shows an intense gate-to-gate azimuthal shear, associated with tornadic- scale rotation. You can create your own algorithm to determine rain rates based upon reflectivity values.

In production NSS data that is truncated has been found. Level 2 data are recorded at all NWS and most USAF and FAA WSR-88D sites. Looking for U.S. government information and services? The lower Level 2 data are base products at original resolution. It also provides velocity data and several more advanced data outputs. In most cases, electronic downloads of the data are free, however fees may apply for data certifications, copies of analog materials, and data distribution on physical media. |165|N0H, N1H, N2H, N3H|Hydrometeor Classification 716 Farm House Ln I've developed parsing algorithms for that the products that I needed most for my own use. 2015-04-22T00:00:00 - NOAA created the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) by merging NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), and National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC), including the National Coastal Data Development Center (NCDDC), per the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, Public Law 113-235. You can find more information on how radar data is encoded at NOAA. This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository. General products for Level 3 include the base and composite reflectivity, storm relative velocity, vertical integrated liquid, echo tops and VAD wind profile.
