[LevelII #TJW-252571]: DATA LEVEL II NEXRAD at DENVER

> Dear Sir/Madam:

Hello Daniel,

> 
> For the work I'm developing during my stay at NCAR I will need to have
> access to the data of the NEXRAD radar at Denver in the original format
> Level II.
> 
> I have found that at this address you provide support for acceding to these
> data.

Yes, we provide real time data..and the occasional case study.

> 
> If it's possible I would need to have access to the polar volumes of the
> Flood event of September 2013, from 20130909@174343 to 20130916@055648

We have set aside the Level II data from this event at:

http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/entry/show/RAMADDA/Data/IDD+Data/casestudies/Boulder_Flood/RADAR?entryid=synth%3Aa136862d-1253-4096-b864-ac53028253d7%3AL2Nhc2VzdHVkaWVzL0JvdWxkZXJfRmxvb2QvUkFEQVI%3D


..and the top level directory is:


http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/entry/show/RAMADDA/Data/IDD+Data/casestudies/Boulder_Flood?entryid=synth%3Aa136862d-1253-4096-b864-ac53028253d7%3AL2Nhc2VzdHVkaWVzL0JvdWxkZXJfRmxvb2Q%3D


in case you desire other data or model output.

Note that we also have level III NIDS products for the same time.

We have the data from 09/08/13 -> 09/15/13...not to the 16th. If my memory 
serves me correctly the AM of the 16th was dry. Also, be aware that KFTG was 
-down- for some periods of this event, using the neighboring sites of KCYS and 
KPUX may be useful for those times.


NCDC can fill any gaps you may want filled:

NOTE: Site is down until government opens.

> tell me if there is a document with the description of the format, and
> specifically the meaning and the units of the different variables.

This document may be helpful:

http://www.roc.noaa.gov/WSR88D/BuildInfo/Files.aspx

..we are asking our internal staff that write radar readers if they have some 
better documentation, but wanted 
you to be able to access the data as soon as possible.
