Purdue University Portable In Situ Precipitation Stations (PIPS) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/541.029

Summary
This data set contains drop size distribution and surface meteorological data
from the Purdue University Portable In Situ Precipitation Stations (PIPS) that
were deployed at locations around northern Alabama and southern Tennessee
during the VORTEX-SE 2017 field season. Each of the PIPS has a OTT Parsivel2
laser disdrometer and a surface meteorological station. The drop size
distribution data are at 10 second intervals and the surface meteorological
data are at 1 second intervals. The data were collected during VORTEX-SE 2017
IOPs and one PIPS was run continuously next to the University of Massachusetts
FMCW radar. The data are in a comma-delimited ASCII format.
