Sorry about the delay on this...a mixup with email.
Hope this info is helpful.

Here is some information on the radar data on the noaaport data feed
(from Chuck Piercy, Natl Weather Service headquarters).

"What's New" section of the NOAAPORT
     User's Page at:

     http://www.nws.noaa.gov/noaaport/html/whats_nw.shtml

     This will explain the plans for open dissemination of 88D products
on
     NOAAPort and the web.  The page also has a paper describing the
     compression technique that will be used, and has sample compressed
88D
     product files.  One caveat that is probably not covered on the
     NOAAPort web page is the fact that we will probably not be able to
     begin NOAAPort dissemination of 88D products until late 2000 (most
     likely later than 10/1/00) when we get release release 4.3.3
fielded
     to all AWIPS sites so they can receive the data in the new
compressed
     format.

Hope this helps

Greetings,

I am curious if documentation on the format for the radar data that will

become available this October through NOAAPORT is freely available for
download some place.  If not, is there any plan to do so.  Thanks.
