return nyquist velocity and maximum unambiguous range from radar data #414

Open swnesbitt opened 8 years ago

swnesbitt commented 8 years ago

Hello,

I am trying to access NEXRAD level 2 data through the S3 archive hosted by Unidata, and noted that the Nyquist velocity and maximum unambiguous range are stored in the raw files (dimensions of time), but not in the OPENDAP dataset stream.

Is there a tool to get at this information from the OPENDAP stream without downloading the whole file?

Thanks, -Steve

No, there is no way to do it without downloading the file. I agree (as a radar guy) that this is a pretty big oversight.

Not familiar with the back end of the thredds server, but could this be included in future versions?

Absolutely. It'd go into our 5.x branch which is a major new version which should see its first alpha/beta release soon. Thus I hesitate to give an ETA on when it might be done.
