Cordoba (RMA1) Radar Data

Project:

Summary

This dataset contains data from the Radar Meteorologico Argentino-1 (RMA1) C-Band dual-polarization Doppler radar in Cordoba city, Cordoba, Argentina during the RELAMPAGO field campaign. These data are in ​CFRadial format and an initial data quality check has been performed on the data. Radar operations and strategy were designed between Argentinian National Weather Service (SMN), INVAP S.E and RELAMPAGO scientists. RMA1 data was provided by Secretaría de Infraestructura y Politica Hidrica, Subsecretaria de Obras Hidraulicas, Ministerio de Obras Publicas of the Argentinean National Government framed within SINARAME Project. The SINARAME project is an Argentinean effort to expand the radar network over the whole country.
