GCIP/LSA-NW 99 Radar: WSI NIDS Radar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/38.001

Summary
This data set contains a limited set of WSR-88D Level III data products
archived from the WSI NIDS datastream for four radars in the GCIP/LSA-NW 99
domain (BLX, LNX, RIW, and UDX). 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.
