Unfortunately, if you're interning for a commercial entity, then 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 private entities. There are commercial entities that should be able to provide you the data you need, however.
