Weather Radar Data

This dataset contains the weather radar (WXR) data collected during the High Altitude Ice Crystals - High Ice Water Content (HAIC-HIWC) project that took place in Cayenne, French Guiana. Some of the data files provide 4D tracks of the aircraft that can be played within Google Earth. The other data files contain the radar data. The data files are arranged by flight and are in zip, kml, and kmz format.
