-
Single-polar products from the Met Office's Cobbacombe Cross C-band rain radar, Devon, England. Data include reflectivity (from August 2009), Doppler (from June 2008), CPAPR (from March 2011) and augmented refractivity (from March 2011) products. The radar is a C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar and data are received by the Nimrod system at 5 minute intervals.
-
Dual-polar products from the Met Office's Castor Bay C-band rain radar, Belfast, Northern Ireland. Data include augmented ldr and zdr scan data (both long and short pulse). The radar is a C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar and data are received by the Nimrod system at 5 minute intervals.
-
Helical scans from the Met Office's Wardon Hill C-band rain radar, Dorset, England produced in support of the NERC funded "Forecasting Rainfall exploiting new data Assimilation techniques and Novel observations of Convection" (FRANC) project. These data are opportunistic observations made by the radar as it transitioned between horizontal and vertically pointing scans and vice versa obtained during the period of the FRANC project. The radar is a C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar and data are received by the Nimrod system at 5 minute intervals.
-
2 km resolution data from the NIMROD system data describe rain-rate observations recorded by the Jersery rain radar, Channel Islands, by NIMROD, which is a very short range forecasting system used by the Met Office. 2 km rain rate data are available from 2004 until present. Radar images from the C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar are received by the Nimrod system 5 minute intervals.
-
Dual-polar products from the Met Office's Hameldon Hill C-band rain radar, Lancashire, England. Data include augmented ldr and zdr scan data (both long and short pulse). The radar is a C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar and data are received by the Nimrod system at 5 minute intervals.
-
Single-polar products from the Met Office's Druim a'Starraig C-band rain radar, Isle of Lewis, Scotland. Data include reflectivity (from April 2012), CPA (from October 2011) and CPAPR (from September 2012). Dual-polar products from this site are available from 2018. The radar is a C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar and data are received by the Nimrod system at 5 minute intervals.
-
Dual-polar products from the Met Office's Crug-y-Gorllwyn C-band rain radar, Carmarthen, Wales. Data from this site include augmented ldr (linear depolarization ratio) and zdr (differential reflectivity) scan data (both long and short pulse), available from August 2018 to present. The radar is a C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar and data are received by the Nimrod system at 5 minute intervals.
-
5 km resolution data from the NIMROD system data describe rain-rate observations taken at Clee Hill, Shropshire, by NIMROD, which is a very short range forecasting system used by the Met Office. 5 km rain rate data are available from February 2006 until present. Radar images from the C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar are received by the Nimrod system 5 minute intervals.
-
Single-polar products from the Met Office's Holehead C-band rain radar, Stirling, Scotland. Data include reflectivity (from April 2012), Doppler (from August 2012) and CPAPR (from August 2012) products. The radar is a C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar and data are received by the Nimrod system at 5 minute intervals.
-
Dual-polar products from the Met Office's Hill of Dudwick C-band rain radar, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Data include augmented ldr and zdr scan data (both long and short pulse). The radar is a C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar and data are received by the Nimrod system at 5 minute intervals.
