SuperDARN grid files used to create the Thomas and Shepherd [2018] statistical convection model

Daily Northern Hemisphere SuperDARN grid files in DataMap format for the years 2010-2016 (inclusive) used to create the Thomas and Shepherd [2018] statistical convection model. Grid files were processed using a modified copy of v4.2 of the Radar Software Toolkit (RST) where the average slant range associated with each grid vector is stored in the 'pwr.median' field.
