That's not what the NWS web page says, and it's not what I was told by
the local NWS folks. The whole discussion at the NATCA "Communicating

WARP experienced by Center controllers. One point made was that Radar
and Weather Processing involves (duh) processing, and six seconds was
never mentioned.

Something is missing here, and I'm not sure where to look. But I have
a ZSE controller I can check with.


That's the center. Their display is a mosaic of many radar sites. Ask
your center buddy how often center weather radar gets updated. However
when you are talking to an approach or tower controller with radar, that
updates every six seconds. There's no processing. What I see is what's
there.

What about a TRACON with STARS?
