description: This data frame contains a composite of precipitation radar images for the continental US.There are 13 layers,
starting with the "Latest" download of RIDGE imagery from NWS, then following by the imagery downloaded in 15 minute increments
in the past, all the way to 180 minutes. The extra imagery is to support map animation.The enhanced view of NWS Doppler radar
images allows interactivity with the display providing you with the ability to customize the way you "look" at weather. Called
RIDGE (Radar Integrated Display with Geospatial Elements), the radar image can be layered with geospatial elements such as
topography maps, highways, state/county boundaries and weather warnings. While the radar image itself is the same as in the
standard version, the geospatial ability in the enhanced version allows for the use of several features to aid the viewer.
Both "looping" images and "current image" have unique tools to help provide more information than what is available in the
standard version of the NWS Doppler display. The following table shows which features are available. For those using the (ESRI)
FLEX API, you can animate this data using the following widget: http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/flex/index.cfm?fa=codeGalleryDetails&scriptID=16635&CFID=28068642&CFTOKEN=24866890&jsessionid=a33079f7c9b5656b6425;
