[Xastir] WX-Radar

[David Flood]

Hello Udo,

The NWS stopped producing easily processable/usable data and instead switched to complicated data files.  If someone has some ATUs and wants to figure out how to parse the data it might be loadable into Xastir.  But since the data is changing/updated on a regular basis you'd have to write an entirely separate program that fetches the new data on a schedule and then "serves" it up to Xastir.

Here's the current data collection:

https://opengeo.ncep.noaa.gov/geoserver/www/index.html

I suppose, if someone had the programming skills and a spare server or two they could light up a Weather Server that does the processing but you still would then need to figure out how to modify Xastir to work with that server.  And as soon as it all was working the NWS would change everything once again.

Hi,

I used for years the RIDGE Radar files created by K1KWD

I know the weather service has changed the layout and the URL

I there anybody who know a new URL, or a way to get those radar overlay files, so it can be used by xastir's  mapping system.

Thanks and 73 de kf4kul
