Level-II (L2) data are grouped into three meteorological base quantities: reflectivity, mean radial velocity, and spectrum width. Request Offline Data Data Types NEXRAD Level-II (Base) Data This dataset is not currently available for direct download from NCEI, but is available by request from the offline archive. An inventory of events is available here. An event summary file with descriptive information is included for each case study.

The data files have been aggregated by event and by hour for the archive with a total data volume of approximately 20 TB. The data files are in the native compressed file format as Time Series (TS) Archive. The number of case studies per year ranges from 1 to 33, with an average of approximately 10 per year. The period of record is from 2008 to present with additional data years planned.

NEXRAD operational sites and test sites are used. It includes only the Level 1 data that has been used for algorithm development and verification by the ROC and its partners. This dataset contains the Level-I (L1) raw radar event data recorded at Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) sites and collected by the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Radar Operations Center (ROC) for specific radar case studies.
