NCAR/EOL Mobile Parsivel Disdrometer Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.065

Summary
This data set contains drop-size distribution measurements in nocturnal
convection from two mobile Parsivel optical disdrometers deployed during
several PECAN IOPs. They were typically sited within the dual-Doppler coverage
of the PECAN radar network and close to mobile radars with dual-polarization
capability. Data are available for 12 and 24-26 June and 1, 2, 6, 9, 11, 13,
and 15 July 2015. These data are in the standard Parsivel comma-delimited
ASCII format.
