* Known issues and bugs in the Severe Weather Data Inventory (SWDI) * Please contact Steve.Ansari@noaa.gov for more information. 2014/03/25 ---- Data rounding / column precision issues: Some column values were rounded to integer values from native float values. This affects the following datasets and columns: - NEXRAD Level-3 Hail (nx3hail): MAXSIZE (should be 2 decimal places) - NEXRAD Level-3 Structure (nx3structure): BASE_HEIGHT (should be 2 decimal places) TOP_HEIGHT (should be 2 decimal places) HEIGHT (should be 2 decimal places) - NEXRAD Level-3 MDA (nx3mda): LL_ROT_VEL (should be 1 decimal place) LL_DV (should be 1 decimal place) MAX_RV_KFT (should be 1 decimal place) - NEXRAD Level-3 Meso (nx3meso): BASE_HEIGHT (should be 2 decimal places) TOP_HEIGHT (should be 2 decimal places) HEIGHT (should be 2 decimal places) RADIUS (should be 2 decimal places) AZDIA (should be 2 decimal places) - NEXRAD Level-3 TVS (nx3tvs): DEPTH (should be 2 decimal places) BASE (should be 2 decimal places) TOP (should be 2 decimal places) MAX_SHEAR_HEIGHT (should be 2 decimal places) -- Additionally, the columns for RANGE and AZIMUTH should be 2 decimal places for all NEXRAD products listed above.

The data is currently being reprocessed and reloaded from the raw files, although this may take several months to complete the upgrade. (sansari)
