Deanhill C-band rain radar dual polar products
Abstract
Dual-polar products from the Met Office's Deanhill C-band rain radar, Whiteparish, Wiltshire, England. Data include augmented ldr (linear depolarization ratio) and zdr (differential reflectivity) scan data (both long and short pulse). 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. 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 Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) the data are ingested after a one day quarantine, having been compressed and then compiled into daily tar balls for each data type. |
| Data Quality: |
Data are from the Met Office's operational NIMROD system
|
| File Format: |
Data are in NIMROD data format. See linked documentation for further details.
