https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/114.067

Summary
This dataset includes NCAR WRF ARW 3KM Forecast Imagery from the VORTEX2 field
catalogs for 2009 and 2010. The files are in .png format. Imagery files are
only available for the VORTEX2 field phases for approximately May-June 2009
and April-June 2010. See the related links below to access the field catalogs
for the exact time periods covered by this data set.
