Summary
S-Pol radar time series data collected during the Prediction of Rainfall
Extremes Campaign In the Pacific (PRECIP) from 25 May 2015 to 11 August 2022.
The dataset contains the raw in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) information
archived as time series. Each file contains 10 minutes of data and is ~4 G
large.
