Testing for the correct value for known separators and other fixed values in the specification. A test script is provided and will generate .json output from all of the files in the ./data and ./data-error folder. Many moons ago, the IEM started providing a website with the National Weather Service NEXRAD Level II data. Overlay products for Level 3 are alphanumeric data that give detailed information on certain parameters for an identified storm cell. I've developed parsing algorithms for that the products that I needed most for my own use. It also creates confusion, as on Thursday 3 April, when the IEM webfarm grinds to a halt, but the nexrad service chugs along happily. Contents. The work in this project is based mainly on the document 2620001 ICD FOR THE RPG TO CLASS 1 USER - Build 19.0.

I suspect you would want the level III data as it more accurately delivers what I think you want ( 1 & 3 hour storm totals, and storm total precip) and also the floater FNEXRAD to get the 1 Km mosaic of base reflectivity. Errors will be logged to the console for the data which has intentional errors, but the data that can be parsed will still be returned from each file. So on Monday morning (7 April), I am removing this redirect and folks will need to manually update their software to use the new address. This redirect creates needless load on the servers and is not efficient. What are Level II data? The bandwidth for this service would over-whelm the website, so it was moved to a new URL back in May 2012. Level 2 data can be considered raw data from the radar and provides the "Reflectivity" products that you're used to seeing on web sites and the local news. (Products N1P, N3P, NTP, OHA, DAA, PTA, DTA, packet codes 78, 79, 80, 169, 170, 171, 172), Storm relative velocity (N0S, N1S, N2S, N3S packet code 56). The parser makes some rudimentary checks to confirm data is valid. The recommended practice is to test that your desired data structure exists in the returned object before doing any further processing with it. The earlier Legacy Resolution data provides radar reflectivity at 1.0 degree azimuthal by 1 km range gate resolution to a range of 460 km, and Doppler velocity and spectrum width at 1.0 degree azimuthal by 250 m range gate resolution to a range of 230 km.
