Radar mosaic Quantitative Precipitation Estimates QPE
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/485.135

Summary
QPE mosaic radar data collected during the extended PECAN (Plains Elevated
Convection at Night) period of 12 May to 22 July 2015. The mosaic included QPE
data calculated with 0.01° x 0.01° (~1 km x 1 km) spatial and 1-hourly
temporal resolution from a composite of 21 WSR-88D radars from the Next
Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) system. The data is in NetCDF format.
