[postgis-users] Old question resurfacing

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Gerry,

Seems like the biggest hangup would be in adding the data to the DB fast enough.  How many points, per revolution, and what is the frequency of a revolution (stationary Radar, correct, although as I think about it, it could be mobile if needed, just need to add in the radar location to each record)?

I asked this years ago, and I think Paul was less than pleased with me (:-), but:

Has anyone, in the ensuing years looked at encoding radar data into a postGIS database? We've a little idea that might benefit one project, and getting the radar data into a good geospatial format would be beneficial.The data, of coure, would start out as radial-distance and intensity from the radar site, although we could preprocess it by gridding.

Thanks, Gerry
