NCAR S-PolKa radar moments data, S- and Ka-band, CfRadial https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/87.064 Summary S-PolKa data from the Rain in Cumulus Over the Ocean (RICO) project . This data set contains both S-band and Ka-band data. These data are in cfRadial format and are available as hourly tar files. WARNING: This is a big dataset. Each file is about 1 GB or less. 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.
