Vertically pointing doppler radar profiles (24 GHz Metek MRR-2) at Mario Zucchelli Station, aggregated to 5min, monthly netCDF archive

Vertical profiles along the first kilometre of atmosphere above the ground (from 105 to 1050 m AGL) of equivalent radar reflectivity factor (Ze), Doppler velocity (W) and Doppler spectral width (Sw) from a 24-GHz vertically pointing Micro Rain Radar MRR-2 by METEK GmbH positioned at Mario Zucchelli Station (Antarctica).
