Weather Radar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/486.022

Summary
This dataset contains the weather radar (WXR) data collected during the High
Altitude Ice Crystals - High Ice Water Content (HAIC-HIWC) project that took
place in Cayenne, French Guiana. Some of the data files provide 4D tracks of
the aircraft that can be played within Google Earth. The other data files
contain the radar data. The data files are arranged by flight and are in zip,
kml, and kmz format.
