NEXRAD Mosaic East IMPACTS V1

The NEXRAD Mosaic East IMPACTS dataset consists of Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) 3D mosaic files created from Level II surveillance data gathered during the Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) field campaign. IMPACTS was a three-year sequence of winter season deployments conducted to study snowstorms over the U.S. Atlantic Coast (2020-2023). The campaign aimed to (1) Provide observations critical to understanding the mechanisms of snowband formation, organization, and evolution; (2) Examine how the microphysical characteristics and likely growth mechanisms of snow particles vary across snowbands; and (3) Improve snowfall remote sensing interpretation and modeling to significantly advance prediction capabilities. The Mosaic East dataset is composed of Level II data from 19 NEXRAD sites in the eastern U.S.. These data files are available in netCDF-4 format and contain meteorological and dual-polarization base data quantities including radar reflectivity, radial velocity, spectrum width, differential reflectivity, differential phase, and cross correlation ratio from January 1 through February 29, 2020. It should be noted that this dataset will be updated in subsequent years of the IMPACTS campaign.
