Abstract
Single-polar products from the Met Office's Crug-y-Gorllwyn C-band rain radar, Carmarthen, Wales. Data include reflectivity products from September 2011 to August 2012. 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.
