NOAA NCEI NEXRAD Archive

Governmental NEXRAD product family providing archived Level-II base radar data and Level-III algorithm products. Level-II files contain volume scans of base quantities; Level-III includes reflectivity, precipitation estimates, hail index, storm tracking, and other radar-derived products. This is radar measurement/algorithm output, not reported ground truth. NCEI presents Level II and Level III as data types within one NEXRAD archive product, so delivery services and radar moments are not split into Sources.
