Description
This archive contains Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching (SMART) radar data during the landfall of Hurricane Irene (2011). The data here are presented in cfradial format delineated into individual volumes for use in wind retrievals. Please refer to the included readme_sr2.txt file for information on the data contained in the volumes.
Two range height indicators (RHIs) are also included in the archive with data description in the readme_sr2.txt file.
The Rapid Scanning X-Band Polarimetric (RaXPol) radar from the University of Oklahoma also collected data sufficient to produce velocity-azimuth display (VAD) boundary layer profiles. The processed VADs are contained in python .npy format. Please see the readme_raxpol.txt file for information.
This dataset is assocaited with the following submission, which is currently under review:
Alford, A. A., J. A. Zhang, M. I. Biggerstaff, P. Dodge, F. D. Marks, and David J. Bodine, 2020: Transition of the hurricane boundary layer during the landfall of Hurricane Irene (2011). Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, in review.
At the time of publicaiton, the citation will be updated to reflect the proper DOI reference.
