Purdue University Portable In Situ Precipitation Stations (PIPS) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/527.025

Summary
This data set contains drop size distribution and surface meteorological data
from the Purdue University Portable In Situ Precipitation Stations (PIPS) that
were deployed at locations around northern Alabama and southern Tennessee
during the VORTEX-SE 2016 field season. Each of the PIPS has an OTT Parsivel2
laser disdrometer and a surface meteorological station. The drop size
distribution data are at 10 second intervals and the surface meteorological
data are at 1 second intervals. The data were collected during VORTEX-SE 2016
IOPs on 13-14, 24, and 31 March; 1 and 27-30 April; and 1 May 2016. The data
are in a comma-delimited ASCII format.
