REPLY: During the course of a complete volume scan the overall data rate will increase approximately by a factor of 2.3. However, during the faster VCPs and with a lot of weather echoes, the data rate in the split cuts can increase by up to a factor of 5. The NWS analysis shows that we will need to expand the bandwidth available per radar from today’s 128 kbps to 384 kbps to ensure timely delivery of the data.
