The Unidata community gets radar products from the NOAAPORT broadcast operated by the US NWS (NEXRAD Level III in NOAAPORT; Level II from the NEXRAD2 data distribution system the NWS built using the Unidata LDM) and from Pelmorex Media Inc, a Canadian company which supplies those few Canadian radars that are included in the composites. We (the Unidata Program Center of UCAR) create composites like the 1 km N0R product using these ** freely available ** radar products. NB: the composites we produce are also freely available. Even though it is not a requirement for use, we would appreciate using the products give credit to the providers of the data: US NOAA Weather Service (formerly know as the National Weather Service) Pelmorex Media Inc The Unidata Program Center/UCAR Cheers, Tom **************************************************************************** Unidata User Support UCAR Unidata Program (303) 497-8642 P.O.
