GATE Ship Radar, June to September 1974

This data set contains the polar digital tilt sequence data (normally one sequence each 15 minutes consisting of a base tilt scan followed by scans taken at successively higher tilt angles) collected with the 2 NOAA C-band radars for the 3 phases of GATE. Each scan contains equivalent reflectivity factors for 2-degree by 2km data bins out to a maximum range of 260 km. The intensity resolution is 1 dBZ. The raw digital values for the polar data bins were obtained in real time by using a Digital Video Integrator and Processor (DVIP).

本数据集收录了由两台美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）C波段雷达收集的极地数字倾斜序列数据（通常每15分钟收集一个序列，包括基础倾斜扫描及随后以递增倾斜角度进行的扫描）。每个扫描包含覆盖至最大260公里距离范围内，2度×2公里数据格子的等效反射率因子。强度分辨率为1 dBZ。通过数字视频积分器与处理器（DVIP）实时获取了极地数据格子的原始数字值。
