[postgis-users] Old question resurfacing

[Gerry Creager - NOAA Affiliate]

Raster is always a possibility, but we lose some data therein. If I use
what we refer to as "Level III" data, then it's certainly a potential. I'm
sorta thinking of using Level II data which comprise
azimuth/range/elevation and one of: reflectivity, radial velocity or
spectrum width (standard deviation of velocity). The programmatic results
of this, creating new Level III data products, are big.

Thanks for the suggestion. Simply taking it to raster hadn't, honestly,
occurred to me because I was overthinking some aspects of the problem.
