  • Important: Changes to NOAA NEXRAD AWS Archive Important: Changes to NOAA NEXRAD AWS Archive
    August 7, 2025
    Description

    Since the launch of the archive in 2015, NSF Unidata has been working with the NOAA Open Data Dissemination program (NODD) to populate the archive as new NEXRAD Level II data become available.
