The NEXRAD radar stations are maintained and operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The TDWR radar stations are maintained and operated by the Federal Aviation Administration. Both radar's are pulsed Doppler types that measure reflectivity out to 460 km, and radial velocity and spectrum width out to 300 km for NEXRAD and 90 km for TDWR. Both radars automatically scan the atmosphere from the surface to 70,000 feet using a rotating parabolic antenna. To support ocean planning activities pursuant to the Executive Order Regarding the Ocean Policy to Advance the Economic, Security, and Environmental Interests of the United States, the Energy Policy Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Rivers and Harbors Act, and the Coastal Zone Management Act.

Add radar station tabular (X,Y) data to ArcMap and export as a shapefile. 2. Create a new geodatabase and name it "RadarStations". 3. Export shapefiles into the geodatabase as feature classes. 4. Remove unnecessary fields from the shapefiles. 5. Merge the weather radar stations shapefiles (DATA MANAGEMENT TOOLS>GENERAL>MERGE), maintaining the fields noted in the data dictionary. Populate merged fields accordingly. 6. Develop a layer file containing symbology. Include Layer Name, Description, Credits, and Scale Ranges (if applicable) within the layer file and its source. 7. Acquire, ingest, merge and update metadata from providers (as needed). 2012-09-01T00:00:00 Minor changes were made to one field name, one field type, and to the formatting of attributes in the siteName field 2022-09-08T00:00:00 Source Contribution: Provided all NEXRAD Radar Station points. | Type of Source Media: online NEXRAD Radar Stations 2012-01-01 publication National Centers for Environmental Information https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/radar WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information publisher 2011-04-27 Source Contribution: Provided all TDWR Radar Station points. | Type of Source Media: online TDWR Radar Stations 2012-01-01 publication National Centers for Environmental Information https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/radar WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Source Citation URL Source Citation URL information publisher 2012-09
