Planned changes to NMQ netCDF data



Hello,

The following message is for users of the NMQ netCDF data stream.  Please disregard if you use only the NMQ QVS website or the NMQ binary data format.


On Thursday, April 14th, we will add 4 new fields to the NMQ netCDF data for mosaic2d_nc.  This is the multi-variable netCDF file containing 2D derived products from the NMQ 3D Mosaic algorithm.  The 4 new fields are listed below.  The total variable count will rise to 18. 

Layer Composite Reflectivity - Low [0-24 kft]
netCDF variable name = lcr_low
Layer Composite Reflectivity - High [24-60 kft]
netCDF variable name = lcr_high
Layer Composite Reflectivity - Super [33-60 kft]
netCDF variable name = lcr_super
Storm Top [30 dBZ]
netCDF variable name = strmtop30
An example file for tile 7 can be downloaded from the NSSL FTP server at
ftp://ftp.nssl.noaa.gov/users/langston/NMQ_UPDATES/April_14_2011/20110412-145500.netcdf.gz

Updated netCDF documentation (see pgs 7-9) is posted at
ftp://ftp.nssl.noaa.gov/users/langston/NMQ_UPDATES/April_14_2011/NSSL_National_3D_Mosaic_April2011.pdf


*The update will start after 13Z and be complete by 15Z on April 14th.*

If you have a questions or concerns please send email to address@hidden.

Thanks!
Carrie
