With the advent of dual polarization beginning in 2011, additional base products of differential reflectivity, correlation coefficient and differential phase are available. I've examined these other responses and have found these to be structured text. An example of plotting data produced from this library can be found in nexrad-level-3-plot. A successful test will generate several .json files in the ./output folder. 11 - Doppler Radar Meteorological Observations, Part A - System Concepts, Responsibilities, and Procedures, Federal Meteorological Handbook No. NEXRAD is a network of 160 high-resolution Doppler weather radars operated by the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the U.S. Air Force (USAF). 2. Level I data is raw radar data (you don't want to see that stuff). Data and corresponding output are provided for quick and easy testing and experimentation. The NEXRAD system is a joint effort of the U.S. Level II data only consists of Base Reflectivity (0.5 dBz increments), Radial Velocity (1kt increments), and Spectrum Width. Errors like this are sent to console.warn(). Dual Pol radar capability adds vertical polarization to the previous horizontal radar waves, in order to more accurately discern the return signal. I suspect you would want the level III data as it more accurately delivers what I think you want ( 1 & 3 hour storm totals, and storm total precip) and also the floater FNEXRAD to get the 1 Km mosaic of base reflectivity. # Differs from IEEE 768-2008 format so np.float16 cannot be used. Since 2003, the IEM has been generating and archiving nationwide mosaics of NEXRAD base reflectivity every 5 minutes. 2620001 ICD FOR THE RPG TO CLASS 1 USER - Build 19.0, https://www.roc.noaa.gov/wsr88d/PublicDocs/ICDs/2620001Y.pdf, https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/radar-data/nexrad-products, https://registry.opendata.aws/noaa-nexrad/. |0x0016|Cell Trend Data Packet| Base Reflectivity: Select Tilt. NEXRAD is a network of 160 high-resolution Doppler weather radars operated by the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the U.S. Air Force (USAF). This dataset consists of Level III weather radar products collected from Next-Generation Radar (NEXRAD) stations located in the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories and at military base sites. Estimates are based on reflectivity to rainfall rate (Z-R) relationships. General products for Level 3 include the base and composite reflectivity, storm relative velocity, vertical integrated liquid, echo tops and VAD wind profile. The two modes employ nine Volume Coverage Patterns (VCPs) to adequately sample the atmosphere based on weather conditions. NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015. Iowa State University The parser makes some rudimentary checks to confirm data is valid. In-flight icing and hail detection algorithms have enhanced overall data quality in present-day NEXRAD. | PPP | Product code List| Messages can be surpressed by passing false.

The parser is designed to catch these errors, log them to the console and they do any additional processing that may be necessary. I'm open to requests or pull requests that add additional parsing algorithms. NEXRAD Level 3 products are used to remotely detect atmospheric features, such as precipitation, precipitation-type, storms, turbulence and wind, for operational forecasting and data research analysis. File can be a buffer or string containing the data from one of the available products. #1 I know that Iowa State has a Level II data feed for free, but which is susceptible to overloading on significant days, and Allisonhouse has the more robust feed for a monthly fee. It also provides velocity data and several more advanced data outputs. This dataset consists of Level 3 weather radar products collected from Next-Generation Radar (NEXRAD) stations located in the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories and at military base sites. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/metadata/images/C00708_fdr_baserefl.jpg.

Level II data are the digital radial base data (Reflectivity, Mean Radial Velocity, and Spectrum Width) and Dual Polarization variables (Differential Reflectivity, Correlation Coefficient, and Differential Phase) output from the signal processor in the Radar Data Acquisition unit. nexrad-level-3-data has additional details about these data sources. Distribution liability: NOAA and NCEI make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. Testing for the correct value for known separators and other fixed values in the specification. Any logger provided must provide the log(), warn() and error() functions. These checks include: The parser will also return rich error where possible indicating that a specific product or packet type is not supported. The output also includes status information required to properly interpret the data (e.g., information on synchronization, calibration, date, time, antenna position, Nyquist velocity, and operational mode). Products shown in grey are generated on demand and will likely show incomplete data. DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce (Point of Contact). The work in this project is based mainly on the document 2620001 ICD FOR THE RPG TO CLASS 1 USER - Build 19.0. Values are automatically parsed as integers, floats and strings as defined in the specification. The Sachidananda-Zrnic Algorithm reduces range ambiguity for Doppler data. A custom logger such as winston or pino can be provided.

This dataset consists of Level 3 weather radar products collected from Next-Generation Radar (NEXRAD) stations located in the contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories and at military base sites. Doppler radars detect atmospheric precipitation and winds, which allow scientists to track and anticipate weather events, such as rain, ice pellets, snow, hail, and tornadoes, as well as some non-weather objects like birds and insects. nexrad-level-3-data. Level 2 data can be considered raw data from the radar and provides the "Reflectivity" products that you're used to seeing on web sites and the local news. By default all messages are logged to the console.
