[AWIPS #CVF-252865]: RAWS Observations ?

Hello,

My colleagues and I are doing some exploring into this, however it's not 
looking promising. According to this website: 
https://madis.ncep.noaa.gov/mesonet_providers.shtml the RAWS dataset has 
restricted distribution to government, research, and education organizations. 
So while we (Unidata) may be able to get the data, we can not ingest, display, 
or redistribute it to the general public (aka on our public AWIPS system). 
There may be an opportunity if you set up your own EDEX that you could receive 
the data and display it locally within your fire department.


> Hello Unidata AWIPS/CAVE Support,
> 
> Curious if there is a capability to display the RAWS network (Remote 
> Automated Weather Stations) of surface observations ?   The RAWS are critical 
> data set wild land firefighting and supplement the METAR observations.  RAWS 
> observations are supported by NOAA and are displayed in the NWS Weather 
> Hazard Data Viewer 
> <https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/map/?obs=true&wfo=sgx&basemap=OpenStreetMap&boundaries=true,false&obs_popup=true>.
>   Synoptic Developers <https://developers.synopticdata.com/> carry this data 
> as an API for mesonets.  Please find a way to and RAWS surface observations 
> to AWIPS/CAVE surface data.
> 
> Thank You,
