Using Dig ATM to Download, Date, and Archive web images

Post by Weasel »

Just in case anybody would like to download an image and date it from a website, the following script shows how this is done:

download,http://radar.weather.gov/ridge/Conus/Ra ... sRADAR.gif

This will download the full resolution RIDGE CONUS NEXRAD image, and save it to your computer using system date and time down to the minute. Maybe schedule the download for every 20-30 minutes or so for the RIDGE imagery. Make sure to create the C:\radar directory if you want to use this script on your machine:)

This is a great little feature for archiving imagery off the web for later use.
