Jordan, University of Wisconsin -Madison University of Wisconsin -Milwaukee University of Illinois-Urbana/Champaign Are a few possibilities..please see: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/projects/idd/sitelist.html to see if other schools (universities) may have a better current working relationship with your organization. Keep in mind we are NOT operational and make no guarantees on data delivery. We strive, and are mostly successful, in maintaining a current feed, but cannot guarantee that. Also, we must be careful not to impede/compete with the private sector in providing products and services to the community. Any additional info about your group and your mission/charter would be greatly appreciated.
