Add live radar data from commercial radar
-
I work with a radar manufacturer that has just recently put one of its customers live data on a public site for NOAA. The radar site is in the US. Do you have the ability to incorporate this data into your app? The data format is very flexible.

@bigern70 Where is the radar located?
-
@korina Laredo, Texas

@bigern70 http://offsitevpn.ewradar.com/Laredo/archive2.trans/LARE/
The data format is nexrad level 2

@bigern70 We already has this area covered by radar.
-
@korina Actually this radar is a gap filler for this area and the customer would like to see the data from this radar displayed on your app. There are actually quite a few areas in the US that have coverage gaps which has been acknowledged by NOAA. Are you able to add this data using this data format? Is this a feature that could be added to your app where users can select a particular radar by name and/or location? The radar manufacturer is willing to pay for this feature as well.

@bigern70 Hello, if we consider it as a reliable source, we may add it in the future.

@korina you willing to get paid to add this feature?

Hi @bigern70, I see data from this radar are still available. From the quick look at the metadata, I see that reflectivity range is 80km with 1km resolution. Is that correct?
I'm also unable to find its location, since metadata contain wrong coordinates (lat/lon as 0.0/0.0).
