On a more high level: I'm guessing you are using the recursive cte to walk trough a graph. There are ways to accelerate this, but at the cost of increase of memory usage and duplication of data. It depends a lot on you graph properties (has it a lots of nodes, connectivity, centralness, etc) (of

Raster is always a possibility, but we lose some data therein. If I use what we refer to as Level III data, then it's certainly a potential. I'm sorta thinking of using Level II data which comprise azimuth/range/elevation and one of: reflectivity, radial velocity or spectrum width (standard

If your radar return is well discretized in time (I'd say max 10^6 points/sec), pointcloud could do the trick (you can have any number of attributes per point). Else, you would have to cut the data into pieces. Cheers, Rémi-C 2013/12/10 George Silva georger.si...@gmail.com I'm glad this might
