UMass S-band FMCW Profiling Radar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/527.016

Summary
Vertical profiles of radar moments and Doppler spectra from the UMass S-band
FMCW profiling radar that was deployed at Belle Mina, AL for the Verification
of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment Southeast (VORTEX-SE) 2016
campaign.

WARNING: This is a large dataset. Each day contains about 11 Gb of data.

Identifiers

Versions
  1.0
  2.0: Raw Doppler spectra were reprocessed using an in-painting method and the
in-painting spectra were converted to moments. Automated boundary layer
height detection was applied.
