WeatherBrief®-NET is a subscription service provided by WeatherBank, offering up to 40,000 weather products. WeatherBank provides weather data and products on a personal level with access through three subscription plans. The WeatherBrief®-NET Commercial Account offers over 40,000 weather products including NEXRAD Doppler Radar, in both composite and high-resolution, Single Site formats. Composite NEXRAD Doppler Radar data are presented over base maps for the entire nation, any one of 7 regions of the U.S., and every state. Composite data has been gathered from each of the NEXRAD Radar sites (the exact number depends upon the size of the base map) and seasonally filtered for ground clutter and anomalous propagation by our meteorologists. These data have a resolution of approximately 2 kilometers and are best suited for most applications. Single Site NEXRAD Doppler Radar data are presented on GIS base maps with pan and zoom capabilities, along with demographic data as overlays. These data have a resolution of approximately 1 kilometer and are best suited for the most demanding applications. Additional capabilities include three, predictive applications for projecting storm morphology (Storm Predictor®), rain accumulation (Rain Predictor®), and the development of hail (Hail Predictor®). These applications extend out 60 minutes into the future. These proprietary applications were developed at NSSL and are currently being enhanced to extend the forecasts out several hours in time.
