Ka-Band Probe Radar (KPR) profile data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/605.027

Summary
Ka-Band Probe Radar (KPR) measurements of reflectivity, spectral width, and
velocity in fixed height 15m bins above msl using a ProSensing 35.6 GHz
Ka-band probe radar. No corrections were done to remove ground reflections or
other bad data, except for masking out the first 91 meters above and below the
aircraft. The approximate height of each radar bin was estimated from the
original bin range and the altitude and orientation of the aircraft. The
velocity values were not adjusted for the movement nor orientation of the
aircraft. The sign of the downward pointing radar velocities was flipped so
that positive always refers to up and negative to down with respect to the
orientation of the plane. Latitude, longitude, pitch, roll, airspeed, and
altitude are also included from the onboard instruments, documented separately
