Russ,

At the time of the report for Dave's presentation, the total were ~ 140
Gbytes/day and we figured another 10% for sites not reporting stats.
Lately, many UCAR sites are sending in stats which has pushed the total
over 150 Gbytes. Also some of the UCAR sites are receiving ~140 Nexrad
radars which is pushing the total up more. Most of the IDD sites are
receiving NOAAport and McIDAS, ... that totals up to about a Gbyte per
site.  Using 150 sites, that equals 150 Gbytes. About 25 sites receive 1-3
radars, 20 Megabytes/radar equals 1-2 Gbytes more. Including NCEP, about
25 Gbytes for those sites.  If you can folow my rational, the new total
would be closer to 175-180 Gbytes per day.  Hope this helps. It will be
nice when I have some time to spend on the stats to make them more
accurate.

Robb...
