Manually-digitized radar data have been collected from
teletype reports and archived in the Model Output Statistics
(MOS) predictand tape format since November 1973. These data
are intended for both general and severe thunderstorm
prediction using MOS which relate the radar data to large-scale
predictors from operational numerical models.
This dataset contains manually-digitized radar data for the
period from 1 November 1973 to 5 September 1977 on a 26x33 grid
covering the United States. This grid is a subset of NMC's
47x51 Northern Hemisphere polar-stereographic octagonal
grid.
