NIDS
Vendors When the radar
network was established, it was necessary to rely on commercial partners to distribute
enormous amounts of data generated by the radars. The NWS is currently under
contractual agreement with three (3) NEXRAD Information Dissemination
Services...or NIDS vendors. These vendors access
all commissioned WSR-88Ds and make radar data available to users. The NIDS vendors
are:
Kavouras
Incorporated |
UNISYS
Weather Information Services |
WSI

Other Commercial
Weather Vendors and Radar Data ProvidersThe users of the
radar data include private companies who distribute the data and other weather products to
the public. Private Companies that distribute our local radar include Accuweather and the Weather Channel.
