UAH MIPS X-Band Profiling Radar (XPR) Data

Project:

VORTEX-SE_2016

Summary

This data set contains radial wind and reflectivity profiles from the University of Alabama-Huntsville (UAH) vertically-pointing X-Band Profiling Radar (XPR) during the 2016 VORTEX-SE field season. The XPR is part of the UAH Mobile Integrated Profiling System (MIPS) system. Data were collected for VORTEX-SE 2016 IOP1, 2, 3, 4B, 4C, and 4D. The data are in both raw scan files and processed universal format files.
