NOAA P-3 Radar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/488.016

Summary
This data set contains the gridded radar data from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) P-3 aircraft tail Doppler radar and sweep
file data from the lower fuselage radar for flights into the tropical systems
of interest to the Tropical Cyclone Intensity (TCI) field project. The storms
included are Erika from the 2015 Atlantic region, Patricia from the 2015
Eastern Pacific region, and Matthew from the 2016 Atlantic region. These data
are in a binary format.
