NOAA NSSL MRMS Base and Merged Reflectivity DPQC. Version 2.0

A 2D mosaic of non-quality controlled base reflectivity observations and a 3D merge of reflectivity across the CONUS data are contained in this dataset from the ICICLE (In-Cloud ICing and Large-drop Experiment) domain in tarred and gzipped NetCDF format. Spatial resolution: 0.01º Latitude (~1.11 km) x 0.01º Longitude (~1.01 km at 25ºN and 0.73 km at 49ºN). Data is sorted from top to bottom and east to west. The upper left corner is at 55ºN and -130ºW. Vertical resolution is 23 staggered layers from 0.5 to 10 km ASL. The file naming format is "ICICLE_[Merged|Base]Ref_DPQC_yy-xx_20190205-20190307_netCDF.tar.gz" where yy-xx is the vertical resolution. This experimental product is the first iteration and may contain some artifacts/oddities. The domain covers only the area of the ICICLE field campaign. No MRMS data are available prior to 5 February due to the federal government shutdown in early 2019. Any public presentations/publications using this data must include NSSL as co-author.
