SMART radar and KTLX WSR-88D data and wind retrievals during the landfall of Hurricane Florence (2018)

This dataset contains radar scans collected by Shared Mobile Atmospheric
Research and Teaching Radar #1 (SMART-R1) at 34.27305 deg N 78.00259 deg W,
Interstate 140 bridge over the Cape Fear River, near Wilmington, North Carolina,
during Hurricane Florence landfall, 13-14 September 2018.

Files with name of form SR1_YYMMDDHHMMSS_YYMMDDHHMMSS.tar.gz record the
observations made by the radar during operations. The YYMMDDHHMMSS time stamps
give the start and approximate end times of the data in the tar ball.
Extraction with a command like "tar zxf SR1_180913130652_180913141359.tar.gz"
will produce a directory SR1/iris_data/product_raw with the data files.
The files are in Sigmet raw product format, documented at:
ftp://ftp.sigmet.com/outgoing/manuals/IRIS_Programmers_Manual.pdf

Archive florence_dda.tar.gz contains Dual Doppler synthesis of observed winds
from SMART-R1 and the KLTX WSR-88D.For more information, please contact:
