Hello,

I discovered today that level-2 data from the NEXRAD-archive can now only be downloaded for the last couple of years (from 2011/2012), whereas level-3 data is still available for the whole period of record. Does anyone know why this has changed, and if it will stay this way?
I like to view old radar data (level-2 format) in GR2Analyst, so I am very disappointed if it stays this way.
See for example this link to the archived data from KTLX: http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/nexradinv/chooseday.jsp?id=ktlx. Those periods of record have always been almost the same, until now...

Contacted NCDC and it's a temporary thing as they are doing an inventory update that is taking longer than expected. Should be back to normal next week.
