GCIP/ESOP-96 Radar: WSI NIDS Radar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/16.012

Summary
This dataset contains a limited set of WSR-88D Level III data products
archived from the WSI NIDS datastream for eight radars in the GCIP/ESOP-96
domain. The products archived are base reflectivity and velocity at 0.5 and
1.5 degrees, composite reflectivity, and Vertical Azimuth Display (VAD) wind
profile. The sites that were archived are KTWX, KEAX, KDDC, KICT, KINX, KFDR,
KTLX, and KSGF. Data are archived in the original WSI NIDS format on exabyte
tape. One week's data is contained on a single tape, as one Unix "tar" file
per day.
