NCAR S-Pol radar time series data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.081 Summary S-Pol Radar full time series data collected during the Plains Elevated Convection at Night (PECAN) campaign from 9 March 2015 to 16 July 2015. This is a "realtime" PECAN data set. The files are a mix of hourly files ("SPOL_scan") and episodic files (SPOL_vert and SPOL_sunscan). The files are in Integrated Weather Radar Facility (IWRF) format and are available as tar archives. WARNING: This is a large dataset. Files are on average ~30GB/file. The maximum data order size is 100GB. Identifiers * Local archive identifier: 485.081 * doi:10.5065/D6VD6WNC https://doi.org/10.5065/D6VD6WNC Versions 1.0 Citation NCAR/EOL S-Pol Team. 2016.
