NOXP Radar Data

This data set contains PPI (Plan Position Indicator), RHI (Range Height Indicator), and surveillance scan data from the NOAA/NSSL NOXP (NOAA X-POL) dual-polarized X-band mobile radar that was deployed for most of the VORTEX-SE 2017 field season operations. The data are in DORADE format in daily gzipped tar files.
