ARC-Aregn

Aregn is a supported open source software platform for weather data processing. Aregn is rooted in the advanced weather data processing suite known as TITAN/CIDD produced by Mike Dixon of NCAR. TITAN/CIDD (now managed under the LROSE repository) has been in use operationally worldwide for over twenty years. ARC offers a secured and tested version of Aregn with custom configurations to meet our customer’s needs related to weather radar and multi-sensor processing, visualization, and product distribution.

Aregn provides a single platform for multi-sensor processing and data integration via an open architecture that removes vendor lock-in common with proprietary systems. Aregn provides an affordable and supported solution with an open source foundation that enables capacity building and collaboration.
