Description
Summary:Raw, unprocessed return signal from the Bureau of Meteorology's W-band cloud radar at Macquarie Island. W-band (95GHz) cloud radar reflectivity collected by the Bureau of Meteorology’s BASTA cloud radar, located at the Clean Air Laboratory on Macquarie Island. One netCDF file is saved every minute at four different vertical resolutions: 12.5m, 25m, 100m and 200m. One vertical profile is recorded every 10 seconds. The files contain the raw reflectivity and raw velocity, thus require calibration prior to use.
