Radar data from the Swiss Radar Network (3 C-Band Radar) Model data from
the Alpine Model (COSMO; http://www.meteoswiss.admin.ch/web/en/weather/models/change_of_name.html)

About the data:

The data are high resolution (2.2 km) COSMO and radar data over Switzerland, hourly forecasts
for a 24 hour period. The second case also has results on a 7-km grid corresponding to a lower
resolution version of the model. Data are in netCDF format, and IDL code to read the data
is included. As far as graphics go, the first case has a .ps file that shows the hourly 
fields and basic verification statistics. The second case has a .ps file for the 24h totals,
plus gif files for 6h totals.
