As I understand it, these are proprietary and will not be part of the NOAAport feed. Will the NOWrad still be available from WSI under the Unidata contract (Tier IV) for $195/month? If this is the case, what I would like to do is take the funds we are currently spending on NEXRAD Tiers I & V, which will presumably be availabe after the expiration of the NIDS contract, together with the funds for Alden DIFAX, and get the mosaics which we were not able to afford before.
