Abstract

This data set contains radial wind and reflectivity profiles from the University of Alabama-Huntsville (UAH) vertically-pointing X-Band Profiling Radar (XPR) during the 2016 VORTEX-SE field season. The XPR is part of the UAH Mobile Integrated Profiling System (MIPS) system. The data are in both raw scan files and processed universal format files. Quicklook imagery are also included.
