NOAA P-3 Lower Fuselage C-Band Radar Data

This data set contains data from the NOAA P-3 aircraft lower fuselage C-band radar for its flights during the VORTEX-SE 2017 field season over the southeastern United States. Each sweep is one 360 degree rotation and the antenna rotates twice per minute. The data are in the RVP-900 SIGMET format which can be converted to cfradial using the NCAR RadxConvert software.
