NOAA P-3 Tail X-band Doppler Radar
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/347.122

Summary
This dataset contains radar data from the NOAA P-3 aircraft's tail-mounted
X-band Doppler radar taken for the Dynamics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation
(DYNAMO) project. The data provide detailed 3D information of convective cloud
reflectivity and Doppler velocity with focus on storm structure variability
and (up- and down-) scale interactions of mesoscale convective systems during
distinct MJO phases. The data are available by time period (there are often
two files for a given day) as g-zipped Dorade files.
