A system for generation of near real-time feeds of user-customized hydrometeorology data-products from NEXRAD radar-data

Hydrometeorology researchers use data-products like rainfall maps, quarter-hourly, hourly & daily rainfall accumulation maps, and reflectivity maps to drive their hydrological models. There are many sources available from which to generate such products e.g. (1) Weather-radar scan data, (2) Rain...

There are many sources available from which to generate such products e.g. (1) Weather-radar scan data, (2) Rain-gauge data and (3) Satellite maps, to name a few.
