Re: CRAFT radar data (Korean & Japan)

[Gerry Creager <gerry.creager@xxxxxxxx>]

We're doing good, as near as I can tell, to get CONUS on the NEXRAD2 
feed.  We still don't see all DoD radars, nor all FAA radars.

Also, Hawaii isn't available.  In order to see it all coming in on 
NEXRAD2, Kunsan, Camp Humphreys and Kadena would have to backhaul to 
someplace where they could be added to the Internet2 feed.

Further, with the network revamping NWS is doing, NWS HQ and NWS SRH 
will aggregate all Level II data via a private NWS network, and then 
make it available to the Top Tier providers (OU/iRaDS, Purdue, ERCC, 
UMD) who will then further distribute it to second tier sites (like 
TAMU) and private sector folks.

I guess the short form is, I doubt it's going to happen unless there's 
some negotiation to put the data on LDM on Internet2 via APAN, which 
would have to be mediated by DoD and the host countries.

That's my unofficial take on it.

Regards,
Gerry
