NOAA P-3 SFMR Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/488.015

Summary
This data set contains the Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR) data
from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) P-3 aircraft
flights into the tropical systems of interest to the Tropical Cyclone
Intensity (TCI) field project. The primary parameters included are the surface
wind speed and rain rate. The storms included are Erika from the 2015 Atlantic
region, Patricia from the 2015 East Pacific region, and Matthew from the 2016
Atlantic region. These data are in Net Common Data form (NetCDF format) and
were collected from the NOAA Hurricane Research Division (HRD) archives.
