NCAR S-Pol radar moments data, CfRadial
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/77.146

Summary
S-Pol data from the International H2O Project (IHOP_2002). These data are in
cfRadial format and are available as 3 hour tar files.

WARNING: This is a big dataset. Each file ranges from about 16 - 63 MB and
each day contains ~23 GB of data. Each order can contain a maximum of 15.6 GB
of data. For very large orders, it may be preferable for you to access these
data via a loaner external hard drive. Please email the Point of Contact to
request these data.
