      Dear Windy,

      I am a pro user and I really love your products. I am also an atmospheric scientists who is doing research to improve forecasts of extreme events and I have a question about the radar data you display.
      I would like to know the source of the radar data, the frequency, and the polarization. In particular, I am interested in knowing the source of the radar data you display over southern Italy. Are they from civil protection? Who is the data provider? Do you have a commercial agreement with them, or could you get them for free?

      Many many thanks for your help

        Hi @claudia-acqui, yes, for Italy we get our data from civil protection (web visualization, API docs).
        We are using VMI product, new data come every 5 minutes, API is free to use.
