NEXRAD ARCO - Analysis-Ready Cloud-Optimized Weather Radar

earth observation meteorological radar weather zarr

Description

NEXRAD Level II weather radar data converted to FAIR-compliant, analysis-ready cloud-optimized (ARCO) format using Zarr v3 and Icechunk V2. Hierarchically organized by Volume Coverage Pattern (VCP) and sweep, enabling instant time-series access to polarimetric variables (DBZH, ZDR, RHOHV, PHIDP, VELOCITY) without downloading individual files. Currently includes KLOT (Chicago, IL) with continuous updates.

Update Frequency

New volume scans are added continuously as data becomes available.
