I don't really know what you mean by this. Is it the case that you can find NEXRAD data, but you can't read it, or is it the case that you can't find NEXRAD data to use? If the answer is that you can find the data but you don't know how to read it, then there is not much we can do to help. >If you could please help me out by >giving a link as to where I would get this data that >would be great. Hoping for your kind consideration. Some useful links: A Unidata web page that contains useful links for NEXRAD Level III radar data and a couple of the links it contains is: NOAAPORT NEXRAD (NNEXRAD) http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/ldm/feedtypes/nnexrad.html FTP-accessible radar products descriptions http://www.nws.noaa.gov/radfiles.html FTP directory containing NEXRAD data ftp://weather.noaa.gov/SL.us008001/DF.of/DC.radar/ The NOAAPORT Users Page maintained by NOAA is: NOAAPORT HomePage http://205.156.54.206/noaaport/html/noaaport.shtml Sample Products http://205.156.54.206/noaaport/html/samples.shtml An NWS page that may contain some useful decoding software is: Encoding and Decoding Software http://205.156.54.206/tdl/iwt/index.htm#table Other than this, it is useful to do Google (tm) searches using 'NEXRAD +FTL' as a search key.
