Data sets

Australian Operational Weather Radar Dataset J. Soderholm, A. Protat, and C. Jakob https://doi.org/10.25914/5cb686a8d9450

Short summary

This study uses collocated ship-based, ground-based, and spaceborne radar observations to validate the concept of using the GPM spaceborne radar observations to calibrate national weather radar networks to the accuracy required for operational severe weather applications such as rainfall and hail nowcasting.
