Weather Radar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/623.004

Summary
This dataset contains the weather radar (WXR) data collected during the High
Ice Water Content 2022 (HIWC 2022) project, onboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft,
that was based out of Jacksonville, Florida. The radar measurements contained
in this dataset have been processed to remove the instrument properties from
the airborne radar data and thereby produce scientific measures of the
atmosphere and the HIWC conditions and the surrounding meteorological
environment. There are 4 different file types (RadProd, bmp, list, and kmz)
containing radar measurements with each file type containing all of the
flights in one zip file.
