FRONT: NCAR S-Pol edited moments data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/387.012

Summary
S-Pol radar data collected during the Front Range Observational Network
Testbed (FRONT) field project between 20 May and 19 June 2014. Data are in
cfradial format and were edited using the Python-based radar software Py-ART.
The data is in CfRadial format. For more information about cfradial format or
the S-Pol instrument, please see the related links.

Data files are tarred by hour. There are 164 hourly files with sizes ranging
from about one-half to one GB each.
