Has anyone here used NEXRAD Data to access historic hourly precipitation data?

16 February 2021 1 7K Report

I've trying to access hourly precipitation data from NCEI's Radar Archive however I've not been able to configure past the downloads. Is there any code available to decode the data?

Paulo Eduardo Cardoso

Hi,

If you are familiar with R language, then I'd recommend rnoaa package that allows you to retrieve NEXRAD hourly prec. data with something as simple as

ncdc(datasetid = 'PRECIP_HLY', locationid = 'ZIP:28801', datatypeid = 'HPCP', startdate = '2013-10-01', enddate = '2013-12-01', limit = 5, token = "YOUR_TOKEN")

More information

Hope it helps
