NCAR S-PolKa radar moments data, S- and Ka-band
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/347.017

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.

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.
