REPLY: Level II have always been defined as the highest resolution data the WSR-88D produces. Super Resolution data will be in the Level II data stream between the Radar Data Acquisition (RDA) and Radar Product Generator (RPG) and will provide NWS forecasters these data to better support forecast and warning operations. Being able to include Super Resolution data in the Level II Data Collection and Distribution Network will enable external users to experience the advantages of Super Resolution data in real time and meet NWS requirements for these data in the NCDC archives.
