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 over the
U.S. at 40nmi and 20nmi resolutions from November 1973 to
December 1994.
