NCAR S-PolKa radar moments data, S- and Ka-band, all variables, DORADE
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/87.067

Summary
S-PolKa data for the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) project. The data
set contains both S-only and S-and-K data, repackaged to include separation of
un-tarred data into sonly and sandk directories.

Be aware that one day averages almost 7 Gigabytes of data. Each order can
contain a maximum of 16 GB of data (~2.5 days). For very large orders, it may
be preferable for you to access these data via a loaner external hard drive.
Please email the Point of Contact to request these data.
