Recording, Archiving, and Using WSR-88D Data

Abstract In order to support NEXRAD program requirements, WSR-88D systems have the capability to record data and products at four levels. Of these, level II (base data) and level III (products) will be most commonly available for various applications by a wide range of users. This paper over views the data-recording capabilities of the WSR-88D system, plans for recording and archiving these data, and some uses for these data.
