Hi Jan, We apologize for the slow response to your inquiry below. re: > Our company is looking for a constant feed of radar data. We would like to > have this > feed as data so we can put the data in our database and build products with > it (HDF5 if > possible). We would like to have the data for the whole USA (composite or > single > radars) in the finest posible grid. > > Is it possible for you to provide us with this data? Unfortunately, we will not be able to provide you with a feed of U.S. radar data. We are funded by the U.S National Science Foundation to support universities in acquisition and use of geo-science data, not commercial or privateentities. There are commercial entities that should be able to provide you the data you need, however. Please do a Google (tm) search for: IrADS ERC Broadband NEXRAD Level 2 data providers re: > If so what would be the price? Even if we weere allowed to provide commercial entities with real-time data, we have no method to charge for such a service. Also, since we are not operatoinal, there would be no guarantee that the data would be delivered 24x7. re: > If not, can you maybe tell us where we can obtain this data? The three organizations that have an MOU to re-distribute NEXRAD Level 2 data with the U.S.National Weather Service are: IrADS ERC Broadband University of Purdue Your best bet would be to contact one or more of these organizations and arrange a feed from them. re: > We would appreciate your early answer and want to thank you in advance. Again, we apologize for the slowness in our reply.
