[Mapserver-users] NEXRAD composites with Mapserver

[Steve Lime]

Sweet! I've been looking for ready-to-serve radar data for a long time.
I'm assuming the regional image boundaries are consistent so one could
create a tiled image layer in MapServer pretty easily. Now you're gonna
have to deal with people 1Mb of radar data every 5 minutes...

Hiya,

I put together a HOWTO on generating NEXRAD (National Weather Service
RADAR) composites via GEMPAK and then displaying them with Mapserver.
The
Howto was intended for folks in the University weather research
community
with a little GEMPAK experience and a little Mapserver experience.  I
probably do a good job of confusing everybody.  Anyway, here it is

For those of you just looking for a base reflectivity layer to use in
your 
app, check out this directory...

Yeah, yeah, I should have a WMS for this.  If somebody wants to send me
a 
fancy Linux box to serve WMS all day, I will happily send you my
address 
:)

Also, I would like to thank folks in the community who have given me 
valuable feedback on this HOWTO. 

Later,
  Daryl
