The processing uses a distributed computing strategy. The major limiting factor in processing speed is I/O read and write times. The system at NSSL uses 25 computers, 20 of which are servers capable of the CONUS-wide mergers. For legacy resolution radar data, it is estimated that 1 year of data can be processed in 1 month. For super-res radar data, it is estimated that 1 year of the data can be processed within 2 months. Errors are tracked and corrected as they are encountered. Most errors are due to corrupted data within the WSR-88D database hosted at NCDC.
