VORTEX-95 NCAR Electra ELDORA Radar Data

Summary

This dataset consists of airborne doppler radar measurements of selected tornadic storms made by the ELDORA radar aboard the NCAR Electra aircraft during the VORTEX-95 Field Project. This radar is specifically designed to provide dual doppler measurements of convective storms. VORTEX-95 is the second field deployment of the radar.
