NRC Convair 580 Airborne X-Band Radar Data and Imagery (NAX)

Project:

Summary

Profiles of Doppler velocity and reflectivity from the X-band 9.41 GHz radar that was onboard the NRC Convair 580 for the ICICLE (In-Cloud ICing and Large-drop Experiment) field campaign. Flights were around the western Great Lakes and adjacent plains region. The dataset contains data in NetCDF files as well as quicklook imagery in PDF (flight segments) and PNG (full flight) formats.
