University of Miami Addu Atoll Scanning Radiometer PRELIMINARY Water Vapor and
Liquid Water Path Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/347.140

Summary
This data set contains the PRELIMINARY estimates of water vapor path and
liquid water path from the University of Miami scanning radiometer which was
located on Addu Atoll at the NCAR S-PolKa site for the DYNAMO project. A full
scanning pattern was completed every 15 minutes. Note that these estimates are
considered to be in PRELIMINARY form. These data are in NetCDF format and were
provided by Paquita Zuidema of the University of Miami.
