Project Goal …to provide the science community with ready access to the vast archives and real-time information collected by the national network of NEXRAD radars. The main focus is on radar-rainfall data for use in hydrology, hydrometeorology, and water resources.

User/Client’s View “Find all the 2002 storms over the Ralston Creek watershed with mean areal precipitation greater than X mm, and with a spatial extent of more than Z km 2, with a duration of less than N hours.
