Michelle,

Unidata does not archive any data, so we do not have it.

NCDC is responsible for archiving NIDS data, so that is your best location
for obtaining the data - though they will charge a fee.

The Unidata/Wisconsin backup site will have the MDR radar areafile images
that were broadcast on the IDD- MDR id 40km resolution (coarse):
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/unirec.html

Universities may archive the data they receive- you can find out
if anybody can help you through the address@hidden email list.

Your options from the IDD could also include the Radar Coded Message (RCM)
summary, or the ROB bulletins.
