UAH MIPS X-Band Profiling Radar (XPR) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/541.039

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. The data are in both raw
scan files and processed universal format files. Quicklook imagery are also
included.
