hi, i'm got a BIG problem finding *near real time* NEXRAD images. In the US, NEXRAD radar images are used for monitoring storms, especially fast moving localized storms...so they are very useful for making decissions about where and when to paddle. they had been updated at about 20 minute intervals for 10's of sites around the country. as i understand it, NEXRAD images are from a private company, therefore other companies or individuals usually have to pay to access the data.... FREE images used to be available on one of my favorite websites, but they have updated the site and it seems that the NEXRAD images are no longer available to the public. i can't fine them with normal web searching tools. On the other hand, there is an *archive* of NEXRAD National Mosaic Reflectivity Images at http://www4.ncdc.noaa.gov/cgi-win/wwcgi.dll?WWNEXRAD~Images2 The archive is fine to see what happened, but it doesn't help us plan paddling trips. ============= please help, i hate paddling in thunderstorms! can someones direct me to web-sites that have those great to use *near real time* NEXRAD images....otherwise, it's going to be a rough year dodging thunderstorms. Where can we access *near real time* NEXRAD images? If there really isn't any free website with NEXRAD images anymore, we may want to send email to the national provider who used to supply them and ask that they provide that fine service again... i'd be glad to continue reading their advertizements in exchange for weather information. cu, bliven *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri May 28 1999 - 02:50:48 PDT
