Testing for the correct value for known separators and other fixed values in the specification. Since 2003, the IEM has been generating and archiving nationwide mosaics of NEXRAD base reflectivity every 5 minutes. The NEXRAD system detects precipitation and wind, and its data can be processed to map precipitation patterns and movement. File Compression: Unix Zip (.Z) or gzip (.gz) compression and tape archive (.tar) may be applied to data files retreived from the NCDC archive. Precipitation products for Level 3 include estimated ground accumulated rainfall amounts for one and three hour periods, storm totals, and digital arrays. sign in Level III data are the output product data of the Radar Product Generator. It also creates confusion, as on Thursday 3 April, when the IEM webfarm grinds to a halt, but the nexrad service chugs along happily. The NEXRAD products are divided in two data processing levels.
