Topic: US Ridge Radar Issue

[Silversword]

Hi All,

I noticed that on the US Ridge Radar for the Composite Reflectivity is not working for some reason.  Others work.

Any issue with the script or is it NWS issue?

Sadly, it's a NWS issue and not likely to be fixed.  Per https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/SCN_20-85_Updated_RIDGEII.pdf , they're discontinuing the fixed images used by https://radar.weather.gov/ to be replaced by the (sadly very slow) methods used at https://preview-radar.weather.gov/.  Likely multiple scripts for displaying radar from NWS will need changing in December, 2020 when they anticipate the cutover.  gwwilk and I are assessing alternatives.

Thanks Ken for the prompt reply.

I need to fix my to display Base instead of the Composite Reflectivity being default for my site.

Hopefully the radar images that are used within GR3 will continue to be available????

Hi All,

I made mine to default to Base Reflectivity but it shows "No Radar Images Are Currently Available From Here!" But when I change the type then go back to Base Reflectivity it shows up.

Question is where do I need to edit the script to come up as Base Reflectivity on default settings?

URL for my site is http://www.dwayneyamato.com/wx/wxnwsradar.php

Any solutions or recommendations appreciated.

I didn't see any comments about this on the GRLevel3 forum.  I suspect it will not impact GRLevel3 which uses the raw radar images (w/o the background maps and overlays that the radar.weather.gov site does for display).  GRLevel3 makes its own composite for display by merging raw radar images (likely not changing) with a base map and overlays to produce an image.

Stan, change wxnwsradar.php

Code: [Select]

$radar = 'NCR'; // Default radar type is set here
to

Code: [Select]

$radar = 'N0R'; // Default radar type is set here
to select base reflectivity.

Hi Ken,

I previously did that "NCR" to "NOR" change and it did not default to Base Reflectivity.  Copy and pasted your recommendation to that line and it worked.  Thanks again for finding some different from what I had on that line.

BTW, the Composite Reflectivity is now working again for some reason.

Mahalo Nui Loa again and stay safe and well over there. Looks like the heat is gone and now some coolness.

It's N-number zero-R not N-capital O-R  (easy to confuse visually a number zero 0 with a capital O )

[gwwilk]

It looks like this evening at least all five six ridge radar II image types are once again being produced in adequate numbers to display!

Fingers crossed about this!

[Silversword]

Ah, that was the issue with the number zero and not an upper case O.

Thanks for the reason why my editing did not work.

Yes, Jerry hope it stays that way and no other issues with this script.
