Radar data needed! Help us with the data gathering

@mcgr1m3 You can freely access the BOM radar images here: ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/radar/

However, this is the copyright statement:
All products available via the anonymous FTP service are subject to the default terms of the Bureau's copyright notice: you may download, use and copy that material for personal use, or use within your organisation but you may not supply that material to any other person or use it for any commercial purpose. Users intending to publish Bureau data should do so as Registered Users.

I would say using the data on Windy would classify as "publishing". Here's where the fees to become a registered user are: http://www.bom.gov.au/other/charges.shtml

Here's a link to some sample data from the different radar packages (just match up the IDR number from the fees page: ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/sample/catalogue/Radar/
I'm not sure how much coverage of the country that is but there is also other options on that fees page.

Volumetric radar user manual:
http://reg.bom.gov.au/catalogue/radar_data_2017.pdf

Looks like the registered user costs are:
Service establishment: $1,025 (one-time)
FTP Access: $985 (per year)
1x radar package: $1,690.00 (per year)

+$345 if you were to change your service.

I'd be so excited to see weather radar on windy! I hope the people at the BOM are watching this thread. :D

I think what you guys are doing is great. I don't know the answer to your question for Costa Rica (where I live) but here is the contact of the Costa Rican national weather service. Maybe once they understand what you are doing they can explain what they can do to help.

Hi, for Belarus there's the official website of Belgidromet with radar data http://meteoinfo.by/radar/?q=UMMN. It's free.

Hi Guys - Amazing work on the site. I use it regularly for aviation here in New Zealand.

The MetService in NZ is a govt body which provides open access to various meteorological data including radar (on request):

Cheers!

For Romania, it seems that the data is free, but it's rather difficult to access because it has to be requested from each weather station and there are a lot. Also, the results are text-based, but I don't think it would be hard to use a website crawler to gather and index all the data. Unfortunately, there is no English version of the website.
