20051130: request source code for FNEXRAD



David,

The programs I use are gdradr and nex2gini which are part of the GEMPAK source 
distribution.
However, you should realize that these programs are using the level 3 products, 
and are
not doing volume compositing of level 2 data.
.
A group from CIMMS and NSSL has undertaken the 3-d gridding of level 2 data for 
composite products
called the NMQ (National Mosaic and multi-sensor QPE), which we they are 
working on for distribution 
in by the IDD in the near future. See:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/Presentations/UPCsemseries/NMQ_UnidataPres_New.pdf

If the student is starting work, you should probably advise him to
research the work that has been presented and published by such as:
http://www.copernicus.org/erad/2004/online/ERAD04_P_105.pdf
http://ams.confex.com/ams/pdfpapers/86485.pdf
