Dataset
Summary
Measurements made with the DOW2 portable xband radar. The DOW2 was operational from 19 June until 14 August. The DOW2 radar collected reflectivity and radial velocity data. PPI scans were done at elevation angles from 1.0 to 10.0 deg. RHI scans up to 20 deg were done at regular azimuth angles. PPI scans of 360 degrees were completed in about 20 seconds while the 20 degree RHI scans were completed in about 10 seconds.
