NRC Convair 580 Airborne X-Band (NAX) Radar Data and Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/612.050

Summary
NRC Convair 580 Airborne X-Band (NAX) Radar Data and Imagery are included in
this dataset. This dataset was collected during the Wintre Precipitation Type
Research Multi-scale Experiment (WINTRE-MIX) field project between February
and March 2022 using an airborne X-band (NAX) 9.41 GHz radar. The NAX radar
antenna subsystem was housed inside an un-pressurized blister radome on the
aircraft fuselage. In normal opertional mode, these radar data are available
at nadir, zenith and side antennas. When flying at low altitude, the nadir
antennas are terminated to avoid damaging RF components. For WINTRE-MIX, the
radar has a dedicated multiple Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) system
installed at the radar rack. Both data and imagery are provided in a single
zip file per flight.
