Incorporate Radar Information #7

Closed jacobbieker closed 3 years ago

jacobbieker commented 3 years ago

Need to find where to get historical radar data, thinking that ground based radar would have better constant coverage of UK than satellites. Could add in as some more channels to the EUMETSAT image, or as an auxiliary image input, leaning more towards adding in as another channel(s).

Let me know if UK ground-based cloud-penetrating radar data isn't available and I'll ask my friendly contacts at the UK Met Office :)

Quick update on getting the 1km rainfall radar data from CEDA:

Turns out my login details still work for CEDA! So we can access some CEDA data already (over HTTP or FTP), including getting more NWP data :)

But the 1km rainfall data requires that I request access. I'll request access later today.

I've requested access to the 1km rainfall radar data from CEDA (this data is just for the UK) :)

jacobbieker commented 3 years ago

Awesome, great! I'll see if I can find any radar data from Europe too

JackKelly commented 3 years ago

Woo - CEDA have granted us access to the UK rainfall radar data. Links:

jacobbieker commented 3 years ago

Great! They also have 5km Europe data, so going to see if that works too

TODO: use iris package to read in nimrod files and project to correct projection.

Redundant now with https://github.com/openclimatefix/nowcasting_dataset/issues/80 so closing here
