Wow, that is a blast from the past! I have a c version of a nids decompressor called ucnids - I believe that Dan Vietor may have written that. I still use it for some of my decoding. I can provide the source code for that if anyone would like.

If you're using pyART, I believe there's a libz toll in python, but after today's packing session for the great house movezi can't, for the life of me, remember it.

So, the error must be related to a failed effort to decompress the NOAAPort version of the file... is anyone aware of a standalone decompressor that could be used to convert the NOAAPort NIDS compressed version into an uncompressed version?

Anyone know if the NOAAPort NIDS files are the same data as reside in ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/SL.us008001/DF.of/DC.radar/? We are able to read the tgftp data using pyART but when we try reading the same NOAAPort NIDS data (e.g. differential reflectivity N0X), we get an error "NotImplementedError: Level3 product with code 3338 is not supported". Any ideas on what this error might mean? Thanks... Art -- Arthur A.
