As a service to the community, 2 NEXRAD reflectivity mosaic products are available on the FNEXRAD data feed. One is a 6km national composite. The other is a 1km regional floater. These are the products used to create the example images shown at: http://motherlode.ucar.edu/unidata/images/nids/gdradr.html Millersville University has accepted the job for selecting the floater region which is being created for the IDD. The radar composites on FNEXRAD are distributed in standard GRIB format so that users can access the data locally using a variety of data display tools. The composites are created using the GEMPAK program GDRADR which is described in more detail at: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/examples/gdradr/ Examples of other uses of the products are also shown on the above web page. Any site receiving NEXRAD data can create their own mosaics locally using GDRADR. The products on the FNEXRAD feed provide an alternative for sites that do not want to receive all the NEXRAD radar data, or may only want to create their own local region composites. LDM pqact.conf examples, and further information on decoding and displaying the products can be found here: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/gempak/examples/gdradr/index.html#DECODING Steve Chiswell Unidata User Support
