CCOPE-2015 Curanilahue Post-Processed MRR Profiling Radar Data

Summary

This dataset contains data from two vertically profiling K-band METEK Micro Rain Radars (MRRs) deployed during the 2015 Chilean Coastal Orographic Precipitation Experiment (CCOPE-2015). Information on the overall goals of CCOPE-2015, deployment strategy, and some results are found in Massmann, et al. (2017). All data were collected at Curanilahue, Chile (CRL). During most of the winter storms, CRL is located upstream of the Nahuelbuta Mountains, in coastal southern Chile.
