The only comment I can offer is that the NEXRAD Level III products may (guess) be usable by AWIPS without any decoding. Are you using a decoder to convert the products? I ask since the ldm-mcidas package contains an old, seldom used routine that can convert an NEXRAD Level III radar image into a McIDAS AREA file. To my knowledge, the AREA file format is something that is not used by AWIPS. >Are we using the correct decoders with the right data types. How can we tell >what data file goes with what decoder. I can also say that the netCDF format used by AWIPS is different from the format created by our Perl netCDF decoders. This may be another problem you are running into. >Thank you, Sorry we can't be of more help, but AWIPS is not a system we support here at the UPC.
