Versions
  • 0.1 (2015-08-13)
  • 1.0 (2016-07-11):

    This dataset has been QC'd.

  • 2.0 (2020-02-24):

    The quality control procedure was updated substantially, resulting in much improved power fields (DBZ, DBMVC, DBMHX), radial velocity, spectrum width, and radar altitude. Echo classification fields and a DBZ field with cloud echo only were added. Reanalysis (ERA5) and topography (GTOPO30) data interpolated onto the HCR time-range grid were added. (See readme file below for details.)

  • 2.1 (2021-04-20):

    Melting layer and icing level fields were added.

  • 3.0 (2022-01-14):

    De-aliased velocity, convective/stratiform echo type, and particle identification were added.

  • 3.1 (2023-11-03):

    Improved echo type and melting layer fields.

(Only the current version of the data is available to order. If you have questions about a prior version, please email us.)
