Hi Lan,
Right now the IDV only reads in Level II Radar from the file system. However, we are working with the THREDDS group here at Unidata to support Level II on remote servers (and Level III from disk).We have a server at Purdue University that runs LDM and receives NEXRAD level II data in real time. We are currently looking at different ways of serving the data to the community who are interested in the data, for example, via OPeNDAP and THREDDS. It would be very convenient if users could directly access the remote radar data from IDV. Is it possible toadd a remote Level II Radar data source in IDV?
I haven't seen that error but it will probably fail if you are trying to point to Level II data from the catalog.I also tried to add the data source using a THREDDS catalog, but received an error "An error has occurred: Creating uri:http://..../thredds/catalog.xml multiple points". Does anyone know what caused the error?
I'm not sure if the above Level-II on remote server will be in the November release. There may be other workarounds that we can implement (http based access). Can your users access the Level-II file system as a shared file system?If this is not possible with IDV, are there any alternative ways for serving real time or near real time level II radar data to the user who could access the data directly from a visualization tool?
