Dataset
Chenies C-band rain radar single polar products
Abstract
Single-polar products from the Met Office's Hameldon Hill C-band rain radar, Lancashire, England. Data include reflectivity and augmented Doppler products from August 2005 and March 2011 respectively. Both products ceased being produced and delivered to the BADC on 18th December 2013, when dual-polar products became available. The radar is a C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar and data are received by the Nimrod system at 5 minute intervals.

| Data lineage: |
Data are acquired from rain radar network in the UK and Europe by the Met Office's NIMROD system. Composite products (images and data) and single site data are then sent to the BADC by the Met Office's DART operational dissemination system. Raw polar data from single sites are sent through from the RADARNET team at the Met Office. On arrival at the BADC the data are ingested after a one day quarantine. |
| Data Quality: |
Data are from the Met Office's operational NIMROD system
|
| File Format: |
NIMROD product data are in the non-standard NIMROD binary format. Refer to linked documentation for further details
