There are several options for obtaining Archive II data:
1) NCEI download from https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/nexradinv/
2) Iowa State download from https://mesonet-nexrad.agron.iastate.edu/level2/raw/
For the two methods above, use the RPG tool play_a2 to playback the Archive II files into a running RPG instance. See help at "play_a2 -h" from an RPG account.
3) RPG tool grab_level2 will directly access and start ingest of NCEI Archive II files from the cloud, eliminating the need for local storage space. See help at "grab_level2 -h" from an RPG account
4) RPG tool hci_read_l2 will directly access and start *live data* ingest of Archive II files from either NCEI or Iowa State in near real-time.
