Micro Rain Radar data collected aboard Aurora Australis on Voyage 1 and Voyage 4, season 2017-18. NetCDF files containing one minute of observations made by the Micro Rain Radar (MRR) PRO aboard Aurora Australis on Voyage 1 and Voyage 4 during season 2017-18. Note that these data are uncalibrated. The original Doppler spectra are also saved in these files. Parameters within the file include: Za – Attenuated Reflectivity (dbZ) Z – Reflectivity (dbZ) Ze - Equivalent Reflectivity (dbZ) Zea - Attenuated Equivalent Reflectivity (dbZ) RR – Rain Rate (mm/hr) LWC – Liquid Water Content (g/m^3) W – Fall Velocity (m/s) Dataset resolution: 35m x 10 s Height coverage: 30m – 4475m above instrument level.
