McGill VertiX Vertically Pointing Radar Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/612.043

Summary
The McGill Radar Observatory operates 2 vertically pointing X-band radars
(VertiX) at 2 sites on the island of Montreal. The vertically pointing X-band
radars can detect all precipitation targets and some ice clouds. They can also
measure the Doppler velocity of precipitation targets. They allow the
production of very detailed radar images of weather as it passes overhead. The
radar located at the McGill Radar site (JSM) on the west of the Island is
dual-polarized while the one on Burnside Hall (BH) downtown is single
polarized. The dual-polarization permits additional information on the
variability of shapes of the precipitation targets that the single
polarization radar cannot.
