VORTEX-SE_2018: Combined Dual Tail Doppler Radars and Compact Raman Lidar Data

Summary

Data from the NOAA Tail Doppler Radar (TDR) and University of Colorado Compact Raman Lidar (CRL) that were onboard the NOAA P-3 aircraft for flights around the southeastern United States for the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment Southeast (VORTEX-SE) 2018 campaign. Measurements include reflectivity and 3D winds from the TDR and profiles of temperature and mixing ratio from the CRL.
