NCAR S-PolKa Radar ZDR Data: DYNAMO Legacy Collection https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/347.209 Summary This data set contains the 15 minute resolution gridded ZDR (differential reflectivity) data from the NCAR/EOL S-PolKa S-band Doppler radar that was located on Addu Atoll of the Maldive Islands during DYNAMO. The data are in NetCDF format. Identifiers * Local archive identifier: 347.209 * doi:10.26023/QRYT-FS6R-NT00 https://doi.org/10.26023/QRYT-FS6R-NT00 Versions 1.0 Citation Rutledge, S., et al. 2018.
