CAND DOW6 Doppler Spectrum at Quebec Canada
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/612.062

Summary
Doppler spectra are derived from vertical radar scans (89° elevation) by
analyzing the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components of the returned
signal. The I/Q time-series data are divided into range gates, and a Fast
Fourier Transform (FFT) is applied to convert the data from the time domain to
the frequency domain. This reveals Doppler frequency shifts caused by moving
scatterers, producing spectra that show the distribution of power across
velocities. We corrected the data for the influence of the horizontal wind
since the scans were not perfectly vertical and removed returns from
ground-clutter. The data format is netCDF.
