WSR-88D NEXRAD Radar Imagery Description: (Experimental) Radar imagary is provided in a georeferenced format using associated "World" files. Each radar image is created separately with no backgrounds on the image and in a standard Geographic Projection. This allows anyone with GIS software to import the image and add any overlaying dataset without the distraction of unwanted layers.
