DYCOMS-II Aircraft: Wyoming Cloud Radar (wcr) 1Hz Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.065

Summary
The DYCOMS-II Aircraft: Wyoming Cloud Radar dataset is one of several upper
air data sets collected by the National Center For Atmospheric Research/Earth
Observing Laboratory (NCAR/EOL) as part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of
Marine Stratocumulus Phase II: Entrainment Studies (DYCOMS-II) project. The
WCR was mounted onboard the C130 in a downward looking configuration.
Reflectivity and Doppler velocity were recorded for a nadir beam and a slanted
beam. In this dataset the recorded data has been averaged to 1 sps, and ony
the data from the nadir beam is included. Investigators wanting the full-rate
or dual-beam data should contact a member of the WCR group. All data is in
NetCDF format.
