Vandersip <address@hidden> To: address@hidden, address@hidden Subject: Raw Radar reports Tonight, I had a problem with a data disk filling up, and found out the culprit was the raw radar reports (MDR- with SDUS header) we ingest for use in the "weather" program. Though these files usually average a few MB in size, some of them have been tens to hundreds of MB in size recently. Is this just due to the amount of radar-detected convection, or has there been some change in the files being fed? Thanks in advance for any clues anyone can provide.
