[IDD #IDT-103545]: IDD - FNEXRAD composite quality
- Subject: [IDD #IDT-103545]: IDD - FNEXRAD composite quality

John,
As mentioned previously, we have received a feed of the NSSL group's LDM
product,
for evaluation for distributing via our IDD. I added the ability for GEMPAK to
display that product.
The gzipped NetCDF file is a little awkwrd at the moment, so hopefully another
option of NetCDF4 with
compression, GRIB2 etc could be done.
