PCAPS ISS 915 MHz Wind Profiler NIMA winds, moments, and RASS Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/233.009

Summary
This dataset contains 915 MHz wind profiler data collected by the NCAR/EOL
Integrated Sounding System (ISS) during the Persistent Cold-Air Pool Study
(PCAPS) between 01 December 2010 and 10 February 2011. This dataset includes
doppler moments data (.mom.nc), consensus winds data (.winds*.nc), Radio
Acoustic Sounding System (RASS) virtual temperatures (.rass.nc) and RASS
moments data (.rass_mom.nc) in NetCDF format. These data are tarred into daily
files and have been quality controlled.
