The central tasks of OPERA are:
- All Level-2 NEXRAD Radar data is currently available in cloud infrastructures. Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) Information on the NEXRAD network, history, documentation, base data, and derived products. Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) Information on the TDWR network, history, documentation, and derived products.
- Weather maps provide past, current, and future radar and satellite images for local cities and regions.
To operate and develop a data hub, which collects radar volume data, distributes quality flagged volume data to modelers and other radar data users, and produces quality controlled radar products;
To develop the OPERA Data Information Model (ODIM)
To enhance expertise in the field of weather radar (hardware, software, products, quality, network design etc.) within EUMETNET and the whole weather radar community;
To provide support to its members in environmental and societal issues related to weather radars, such as radar siting, radio-frequency interference and the impact of wind farms;
To offer a forum for exchange of experience and for capacity building in the field of weather radars within EUMETNET;
To inform the wider operational and research community of its activities.

The main requirements for OPERA are:
Running a data hub and gradually replacing it with new production lines
Using the data hub to make data available for members and 3rd parties
Maintaining a database of metadata of members‘ radars
Pursuing a study programme addressing new technologies , quality information, current and developing algorithms
Defining and promoting common data exchange formats;
Distributing information to stakeholders and gaining public visibility with the EUMETNET external website
Cooperation with WMO in the context of WIGOS for global exchange of radar knowledge Icollections 4 6 1.

Radar, an acronym for radio detection and ranging, is an object detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, altitude, direction of movement, and speed of objects. The antenna transmits pulses of radio waves or microwaves, which bounce off any object in their path. The object returns a tiny part of the wave's energy to a dish or antenna. For more information, please refer to the Introduction To Doppler Radar and Radar FAQ, produced by NOAA's National Weather Service.

Network Radar 2 9 2019 Full
- Radar Data in the NOAA Big Data Project
All Level-2 NEXRAD Radar data is currently available in cloud infrastructures. - Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD)
Information on the NEXRAD network, history, documentation, base data, and derived products. - Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR)
Information on the TDWR network, history, documentation, and derived products. - Radar Display and Conversion Tools
Radar data is in a custom binary format. The visualization and decoding of the data requires specialized software. - Interactive Radar Map Tool
Supplemental data in support of the radar archive, including historical five-minute reflectivity mosaics for the continental United States, radar coverage maps, and map-based site selection tools. - Severe Weather Data
Several severe weather datasets exist including the Severe Weather Data Inventory (SWDI), Lightning Products and Services, Storm Data, and International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship. SWDI contains a database of the NEXRAD/TDWR tracked storm attributes, including storm structure, hail, mesocyclone, and tornado vortex signature.
