UMass FMCW Radar Data https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/541.031 Summary This data set contains vertical profiles of radar moments and Doppler spectra from the University of Massachusetts S-band FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) profiling radar that was deployed at the Scottsboro, Alabama Municipal Airport during the VORTEX-SE 2017 field season. The data are in NetCDF format. NOTE: This is a large data set, each day is approximately 10Gb. Each order can contain a maximum of 16Gb (approximately 1.5 days).
