UAH Parsivel Disdrometer Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/527.017

Summary
This data set contains surface raindrop size distribution data from the two
Parsivel disdrometers that the University of Alabama-Huntsville deployed at
the UAH berm site for the VORTEX-SE 2016 campaign. One was deployed inside a
fence to avoid wind effects on the drop data while the other was deployed
outside the fence for reference. The data are available for all VORTEX-SE 2016
field season IOPs. These data are in a comma-delimited ASCII format.
