Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) Radar Line-of-Sight
The Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) system is a network of doppler radar operated jointly by the National Weather Service (NWS), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the U.S. Air Force. This dataset represents a line-of-sight for each radar station. Radar line-of-sight can become saturated with wind energy due to interference.
