NAME Regional Radar Network 2-D Near-Surface Reflectivity and Rain Rate 5-KM
Composite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/82.120

Summary
This dataset includes two-dimensional gridded five kilometer regional
composites of near-surface radar reflectivity factor and rain rate from the
NAME radar network. The NAME radar network consisted of three radars location
near the mouth of the Gulf of California and the western slope of the Sierra
Madre Occidental. This dataset was updated by the source on June 25, 2007.
