Summary
This dataset includes the netCDF data from the Mobile UMass XPOL radar during
the VORTEX2 project. There may be multiple deployments in a single day tar
file. When ordering, the user should be aware that some of these files are
somewhat large, on the order of several hundred MBytes to 2 GB.
