In response, the panel reviewed the status of WSR-88D data collection, processing, and archival, as well as the accessibility of archived data (with an emphasis on Level II). For this purpose, the panel examined reports by R. Carbone (panel member) and G. Mandt, Director, NWS/Office of Meteorology (OM). It should be noted that, because an emphasis of the present review was in identifying areas for improving the utility of the NEXRAD data, the conclusions and recommendations presented in this report could be taken out of context to suggest that the data in their present form have little utility. On the contrary, the panel concluded that the NEXRAD data are valuable for both their real-time applications in weather forecasting, and their utility for studying atmospheric dynamics in greater detail than was previously possible. At the same time, the panel identified strategies that could significantly improve the utility and value of the data. 410 0$aCompass series (Washington, D.C.) 606 $aWeather radar networks$zUnited States 606 $aRadar meteorology 606 $aMeteorological stations, Radar$zUnited States 606 $aMeteorological services$zUnited States 615 0$aWeather radar networks 615 0$aRadar meteorology. 615 0$aMeteorological stations, Radar 615 0$aMeteorological services 676 $a551.63/53 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.)$bClimate Research Committee.$bGlobal Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Panel. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970654203321 996 $aEnhancing access to NEXRAD data, a critical national resource$94368866 997 $aUNINA
