Access to Better Radar Products
-
I love Windy but what I miss from some previous services I've used is access to more and better radar products. I'm not an expert on this topic but I remember that my area has a high-resolution TDWR radar as well as doppler radar with various angles and sensitivities. Windy just giving one aggregated radar view often misses or misrepresents the precipitation in my area. I already subscribe to Premium but would even pay a bit more to have access to these better radar views in my area. (In case it helps, I'm in the Tampa, FL area.)
Would you please consider bringing more radar products and views to Windy?

@jpennin1 Hi, we are open to adding new radars around the world, if anything is available or it has better quality than the provided one. If you have any sources, please share them with us, we would appreciate it.

@Suty Part of what I'm referring to is that there isn't any controls in Windy's radar view. It seems to just be an aggregate of whatever data Windy gets or chooses to display. I miss having the ability to pick between different angles and sensitivities for the radar in our area since those settings would provide better information about what weather is real and what is false echo or not being picked up.
As for the TDWR high res products, I believe this page from NOAA discusses them in detail... https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/radar/terminal-doppler-weather-radar
Thanks for considering this to make Windy better.
