[Datastream #SCE-808417]: Hydro-Nexrad model

> Hello,

Hi Lisa, 

> I would like to find out if this model is still being supported.
> 

Unidata worked with U of Iowa on this project, U of Iowa is the lead party and 
would be responsible for continued support.

Contacts at U of Iowa are:


Seo, Bong Chul address@hidden

and


Anton Kruger address@hidden

> Several years ago, we (at RENCI - University of North Carolina) teamed
> up with Bong-Chul Seo to get a copy of the model installed here, so we
> could process NEXRAD level II data from an LDM feed.
> 
> Also, at that time, we were able to use AWS provided data to supplement
> our LDM feed of NEXRAD data. Then AWS changed the format of the NEXRAD
> data, and the Hydro-Nexrad model was no longer able to read the new
> format.

What AWS source are you referencing...NEXRAD II from the Big Data Project 
perhaps?

Not sure, please contact U of Iowa.

The NEXRAD level II via AWS for the Big Data Project has maintained original 
format (as far as I know), there has been a change in the naming convention 
suffix, but the data is the same.

Sorry to pass you over to U of Iowa, but they hold and maintain the 
Hydro-NEXRAD code.
