# BALTRAD

## Quick Description

BALTRAD offers software for exchanging weather radar data in real time, and processing data using a common "toolbox" of algorithms. The data exchange functionality can be used stand-alone, as can the toolbox. While the focus is on creating an operational system, the design is also intended to help bridge the gap between research and operational communities.
