ProRad consist of a collection of specialised programs each handling a limited set of operations on the supplied datasets. Combined these programs provide a powerful tool for processing radar data, and synchronisation of the processing is handled through message passing between the programs. The messages are basically an announcement of data, or products, and some metadata to identify the dataset. | ProRad consist of a collection of specialised programs each handling a limited set of operations on the supplied datasets.

+ | ===== Development timeline ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Development of the ProRad system started in the autumn of 2005 at met.no. The first operational version of ProRad was installed at met.no in June 2008. The QC algorithms developed as part of the joint 3 year long project with the hydro power sector, was declared pre-operational November 2011. The routines were declared fit for operational use in January 2012. ProRad | ||
