Abstract
Data were collected from the 30th of March 1999 to the 30th of March 2011 by the CAMRa (Chilbolton Advanced Meteorological Radar) at Chilbolton Observatory, Hampshire. The dataset contains measurements of radial component of wind velocity, radar frequency, differential phase shift and unfolded Doppler velocity. Plots are also available of differential phase shift, Doppler velocity, radar reflectivity factor, and linear depolarisation ratio.
