Beginning April 7, 2015, NWS will more frequently disseminate
radar products generated by the NWS Supplemental Product
Generator (SPG) from the remaining FAA Terminal Doppler Weather
Radars (TDWRs) during hazardous weather. Currently, 18 TDWRs are
already disseminating this data.
The remaining TDWRs include:
Associated WFO TDWR ID TDWR FAA Site

PSR TPHX Phoenix, AZ
SLC TSLC Salt Lake City, UT
TSA TTUL Tulsa, OK
FFC TATL Atlanta, GA
VEF TLAS Las Vegas, NV
MFL TFLL Fort Lauderdale, FL
MFL TMIA Miami, FL
MFL TPBI West Palm Beach, FL
HGX TIAH Houston International, TX
HGX THOU Houston Hobby, TX
BOX TBOS Boston, MA
BOU TDEN Denver, CO
CLE TLVE Cleveland, OH
DTX TDTW Detroit, MI
IND TIDS Indianapolis, IN
LMK TSDF Louisville, KY
MLB TMCO Orlando, FL
MEG TMEM Memphis, TN
MPX TMSP Minneapolis, MN
PHI TPHL Philadelphia, PA
OHX TBNA Nashville, TN
LIX TMSY New Orleans, LA
PBZ TPIT Pittsburgh, PA
LSX TSTL St. Louis, MO
TBW TTPA Tampa, FL
ICT TICH Wichita, KS
SJU TSJU San Juan, PR
The products will be provided via the NWS Radar Product Central
Data Collection Dissemination Service (RPCCDS) and/or NOAAPort.
When certain thresholds of precipitation are met, the TDWR shifts
into hazardous weather mode, also known as Volume Coverage
Pattern 80 (VCP 80). While the TDWR is in hazardous weather mode,
the short-range lowest elevation scan is repeated every minute.
In addition, most of the other short-range elevation scans and
volume products are repeated every 3 minutes.
Two example TDWR products that will be repeated every minute in
hazardous weather mode (VCP 80):
WMO Header AWIPS ID Product ID Product Name
--------------------------------------------------------------
SDUS55 KPSR TR0PHX 181 Reflectivity (Z)
Base Elevation
SDUS55 KPSR TV0PHX 182 Velocity (V)
Base Elevation
Nine example TDWR products that will be repeated every 3 minutes
in VCP 80:
WMO Header AWIPS ID Product ID Product Name
--------------------------------------------------------------
SDUS25 KPSR TR2PHX 181 Reflectivity (Z)

SDUS75 KPSR TV2PHX 182 Velocity (V)

SDUS55 KPSR NCRPHX 37 Composite

SDUS75 KPSR NETPHX 41 Echo Tops (ET)
SDUS55 KPSR NVLPHX 57 Vertically
Integrated Liquid

SDUS35 KPSR NSTPHX 58 Storm Tracking

SDUS65 KPSR NHIPHX 59 Hail Index (HI)
SDUS65 KPSR NTVPHX 61 Tornadic Vortex
Signature (TVS)
SDUS35 KPSR NMDPHX 141 Mesocyclone (MD)
As with other centrally collected TDWR products, National
Climatic Data Center (NCDC) will archive the additional products.
The archived products will be listed with other TDWR products
under the NEXRAD Level III tab at:
