Online StoreData TypesLevel-I Event DataThis dataset contains the Level-I (L1) raw radar event data recorded at Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) sites and collected by the NOAA National Weather Service (NWS) Radar Operations Center (ROC) for specific radar case studies. It includes only the Level 1 data that has been used for algorithm development and verification by the ROC and its partners. NEXRAD operational sites and test sites are used. The period of record is from 2008 to present with additional data years planned. The number of case studies per year ranges from 1 to 33, with an average of approximately 10 per year. The data files are in the native compressed file format as Time Series (TS) Archive. The data files have been aggregated by event and by hour for the archive with a total data volume of approximately 20 TB. An event summary file with descriptive information is included for each case study. An inventory of events is available here [add link].
Radar Secret Service download
Humans and machines use secrets throughout the value stream of building and operating software. The build pipelines need secrets to interface with secure infrastructures such as container registries, the applications use API keys as secrets to get access to business capabilities, and the service-to-service communications are secured using certificates and keys as secrets. You can set and retrieve these secrets in different ways. We've long cautioned developers about using source code management for storing secrets. We've recommended decoupling secret management from source code and using tools such as git-secrets and Talisman to avoid storing secrets in the source code. We've been using secrets as a service as a default technique for storing and accessing secrets. With this technique you can use tools such as Vault or AWS Key Management Service (KMS) to read/write secrets over an HTTPS endpoint with fine-grained levels of access control. Secrets as a service uses external identity providers such as AWS IAM to identify the actors who request access to secrets. Actors authenticate themselves with the secrets service. For this process to work, it's important to automate bootstrapping the identity of the actors, services and applications. Platforms based on SPIFFE have improved the automation of assigning identities to services.
We've long cautioned people about the temptation to check secrets into their source code repositories. Previously, we've recommended decoupling secret management from source code. However, now we're seeing a set of good tools emerge that offer secrets as a service. With this approach, rather than hardwiring secrets or configuring them as part of the environment, applications retrieve them from a separate process. Tools such as Vault by HashiCorp let you manage secrets separately from the application and enforce policies such as frequent rotation externally.
Dynamic test objects are used to measure the performance associated with site acceleration services.Each is an HTML file containing JavaScript capable of gathering timestamps from the Navigation Timing API and posting them to the parent page. The client downloads the test object using an iframe and obtains these timestamps, which it uses to calculate measurements.
For standard Radar measurements, we try to isolate only the primary request activity associated with downloading test objects, whereas for site acceleration services our goal is to measure more of the activity. Therefore DNS lookup and connection time are included as well.Also, dynamic measurements are intended to measure the request performance when hitting the service origin, not just an edge cache.
EACH-S is an initiative for military spouses designed to destigmatize mental health challenges, normalize help-seeking and connect those in need with support. REACH-S is implemented through small-group discussions with military spouses divided into two sessions. Session One focuses on military spouses' barriers to seeking mental health care, solutions to these barriers and self-care practices. Session Two focuses on the service member's barriers to seeking mental health care and teaches suicide prevention skills to military spouses. Prospective facilitators will need to download and familiarize themselves with the Facilitator's Manual, REACH-S Slides, Resources Handout, and Demonstration Videos before leading a REACH-S session.Download resources hereBack to list
Prior research indicates that military officers are less likely than enlisted personnel to seek mental or behavioral health support when such services would be beneficial (e.g., when experiencing suicidal ideation or after a suicide attempt; Ho et al., 2018; OPA, 2017). Barriers to behavioral health resource utilization in the military include public stigma, internalized self-stigma, concerns regarding peer and leader perceptions of work-related abilities, preference for self-reliance, negative attitudes toward behavioral health treatment, and operational barriers (Britt et al., 2016; Greene-Shortridge, Britt, & Castro, 2007; Hines et al., 2014; Kim, Britt, Klocko, Riviere, & Adler, 2011; Nash, Silva, & Litz, 2009; Vogt, 2011). However, research is limited regarding the help-seeking experiences, barriers, and available resources for senior leaders, such as non-commissioned and commissioned officers. This report addresses this gap in the literature. Specifically, we interviewed 32 subject matter experts (SMEs) affiliated with the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. Results of SME interviews indicated that, although several behavioral health resources are available to officers, few are tailored specifically to the needs of officers. SME-identified barriers to officer help-seeking behavior were consistent with those previously described in military studies, but SMEs indicated that the concerns were heightened for senior leaders. Based on SME-identified solutions to address barriers, this study concludes with a list of recommendations for changes to the military behavioral health system and officer professional development as well as increases to spouse and family involvement in officer help-seeking and the creation of messaging campaigns targeted specifically to leaders and senior officers.
