[Datastream #HIG-707765]: Problems with neartime archive

Hi Kwan,

re:

The type of the image specified is incorrect.  The NEXRAD Level III composites
are in GINI format, not AREA.  Given this, your DSSERVE command should look
like:

dsserve.k ADD NEXR/N0R GINI TYP=IMAGE DIR='/storage/n0r/*.gini'

Also, it is always a good idea to include a quote field value so that your
dataset can be better understood using DSINFO.  I suggest:

dsserve.k ADD NEXR/N0R GINI TYP=IMAGE DIR='/storage/n0r/*.gini' \"NEXRAD Level 
III Base Reflectivity N0R Composite

The images are in GINI format, not AREA.

They do not include Hawaii or Alaska. Perhaps we would do better to refer
to them as Conus composites...

Cheers,

Tom
