GCIP/ESOP-98 Radar: WSI NIDS Radar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/18.007

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-98
domain (DMX, DVN, LOT, MKX, and MPX). Also, for the period December 1997 and
January 1998 DTX, GRB, and GRR were collected for the Lake-ICE project. The
products archived are base reflectivity and velocity at the first four tilts,
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.
