Re: 20040901: problems with NEXRAD files

Hi John,

Jeff and I talked about this earlier and have some suggestions for ways to 
get started with a few datasets that will provide you with some system 
experience to begin with -- just getting the raw datasets into local 
storage.  Then the discussion can be expanded to include options for 
transforming, analyzing and visualizing the data once you are able to 
capture them in raw form.

Jeff can provide you with specific suggestions for how to get all this 
underway, but that would seem to be the best overall approach.
