NCAR S-Pol radar moments data, CfRadial
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/146.003

Summary
S-Pol data from the Improvement of Microphysical Parameterization through
Observational Verification Experiment (IMPROVE) . These data are in cfRadial
format and are available as daily tar files.

WARNING: This is a big dataset. Each file is between 1 GB and 10 GB of data.
Each order can contain a maximum of 15.6 GB of data. For very large orders, it
may be preferable for you to access these data via a loaner external hard
drive. Please email the Point of Contact to request these data.

Versions
  1.0: The data were discovered to have a their longitude reversed (the data
had a positive longitude when it should have been negative).
  2.0: The data were discovered to have a their longitude reversed (the data
had a positive longitude when it should have been negative). Version 2
has corrected longitude.
