Stony Brook University Mobile X-band Phased Array Radar (SKYLER II) Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/619.011

Summary
Stony Brook University Mobile X-band Phased Array Radar (SKYLER II) data are
included in this dataset. During the Experiment of Sea Breeze Convection,
Aerosols, Precipitation and Environment (ESCAPE) field campaign in Houston
(Jensen et al.,2022), the Stony Brook University Mobile Radar Truck installed
an X-band dual polarization phased array radar named SKYLER II and was
deployed closely coordinated with the University of Oklahoma mobile X-band
radars (RaxPol and PX-1000). SKYLER II was operated for 13 deep convection
days between May 31, 2022 to June 22, 2022. SKYLER II performed a rapid volume
scan of a 90 degree azimuth sector approximately every 12 seconds for each
deployment. The netCDF data are provided in tar.gz files by day. This is a
large dataset. Please order only the days needed.
