DYNAMO: NCAR S-PolKa radar moments data, S- and Ka-band

Summary

Hourly files of S-band and Ka-band S-PolKa radar data taken continuously during the DYNAMO (Dynamics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation) project.

Archive note

Be aware that one day averages almost 7 Gigabytes of data. Each order can contain a maximum of 16 GB of data (~2.5 days). 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.
