Anton, I use the TRMM project RSL library for GEMPAK: http://trmm-fc.gsfc.nasa.gov/trmm_gv/software/rsl/ Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support > We have an issue with NEXRAD data that Unidata could be helpful with. > This is in connection with the NEXRAD-ITR project. We inherited libraries > to read Archive Level II files from NASA ~ 10 years ago. Over the years > we have fixed bugs and made updates to accommodate changes to the headers > etc.. However, the core software was written by a programmer that is now > long gone. These libraries are used extensively by a number of groups in > the hydrology/hydrometeorology/NASA community, and I am confident that the > libraries are reading/decoding the data correctly. Still, it would be > prudent to check against libraries that were created independently. > Also, velocity data is not much used, so that has not been tested well. > To this end we have obtained source codes from the NWS but it is awkward > to get to the radial reflectivity values, but we did make some > comparisons. Overall things look ok, but there are a few things that > concern us. > > Thus, we are looking for other software to read the data. The IDV, > Gempak, and the mosaics (I think you make), all reads the Level II data. > I have a number of questions > > - Do you use 1 library or are there several at Unidata for reading the > Level II data? > > - What are the origin of the libraries(s)? > > - Can you bundle up the sources and provide that to us so we can compare > that with our own.? > > - Do you know of other libraries/people we can contact? > > Thanks > > Anton > Ticket Details =================== Ticket ID: ANM-975517 Department: Support GEMPAK Priority: Normal Status: Closed
