Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

[gembud] Displaying NIDS data

I have some very old NIDS data files from 1995 that I would like to
display using NMAP2.

I copied the archived NIDS files into $METDAT/NEXRAD/xxx where xxx is
the radar ID (currently only DDC and AMA). Within that directory are the
BREF1, BREF2, etc., subdirectories.

When selecting the data type in NMAP2, I select IMAGE, RAD, DDC, BREF1
and ACCEPT. And that's about as far as I get. No file names appear in
the window and I cannot select a time (e.g., 950608/2200). Selecting
LOAD does not load any radar images. Have I missed an important step?

Does NMAP2 read NIDS files that are this old?

Thanks,

David
