GCIP/ESOP-97 Radar: WSI NIDS Radar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/17.007

Summary
This dataset contains a limited set of WSR-88D Level III data products
archived from the WSI NIDS datastream for five radars in the GCIP/ESOP-97
domain (DMX, DVN, LOT, MKX, and MPX). The products archived are base
reflectivity and velocity at the first two tilts (the next two tilts were also
collected for a portion of ESOP-97), composite reflectivity, and Vertical
Azimuth Display (VAD) wind profile. 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.
