Airborne Precipitation Radar 3rd Generation (APR-3) CPEX

The Airborne Precipitation Radar 3rd Generation (APR-3) CPEX dataset consists of radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity for all bands, linear depolarization ratio Ku-band, and normalized radar cross section measurements at Ka- and Ku- bands data collected by the APR-3 onboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft. These data were gathered during the Convective Processes Experiment (CPEX) aircraft field campaign. CPEX collected data to help answer questions about convective storm initiation, organization, growth, and dissipation in the North Atlantic-Gulf of Mexico-Caribbean Oceanic region during the early summer of 2017. These data files are available from May 27, 2017 through June 24, 2017 in a HDF-5 file, with associated browse imagery in JPG format.
