NRC Convair 580 Airborne X-Band Radar Data and Imagery (NAX)
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/570.046

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.

Identifiers
 * Local archive identifier: 570.046

Versions
  1.0: NAX netcdf file is generated for every binary radar data file. Up and
down beams are merged and projected to altitude and side data at the
antenna beam direction. When an antenna is not active, data are replaced
with filling values
