NEXRAD LEVEL II radar location problems

Post by cwjjets »

I've downloaded reflectivity of KPAH (Paducah, KY) from NCDC NEXRAD Data Inventory Search site (http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/nexradinv/index.jsp) and it displays the data in Missouri. It is the correct data just in the wrong place. It's not at KEAX but north of this location. I was wondering if any has had this problem before? Is there a problem with the geolocation data within the source file or within McIDAS-V? Is there an easy way to manually change the data's lat/lon to be shown in the correct location of KPAH? I am using McIDAS-V Verson 1.3. I've attached an image capture.

Hi cwjjets,

At the top of the data source selection, you will see a station location. You still need to choose the correct station before displaying the data. This will give you the correct navigation.
