https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.118

Summary
Radar regional mosaic, gridded NEXRAD radar data in netCDF format. These files
contain convectivity and convective/stratiform echo type classification for
the Plains Elevated Convection at Night (PECAN) field phase from 01 June to 16
July 2015. The data are available as daily tar files.
