Data for "Evaluating vertical velocity retrievals from vertical vorticity equation constrained dual-Doppler analysis of real, rapid-scan radar data"

This archive contains data from the Rapid Scanning X-Band Polarimetric (RaXPol) radar, Atmospheric Imaging Radar (AIR), and Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching radar (SMART-R) for 4 September 2018 in central Oklahoma. This is a rapid-scan dual-Doppler dataset of a convective storm. RaXPol and AIR were the two radars that can be used for dual-Doppler retrievals and the SMART-R data can be used for verification of vertical velocity.

The AIR and RaXPol data have been quality controlled and are provided in cfRadial format. The SMART-R data has not been quality controlled and are available in its raw data format. All data can be read using the Python ARM Radar Toolkit.

This dataset was used for the manuscript:
