-
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.
-
Single-polar products from the Met Office's Clee Hill C-band rain radar, Shropshire, England. Data include reflectivity and augmented Doppler products from April 2012 and June 2008 respectively. The radar is a C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar and data are received by the Nimrod system at 5 minute intervals.
-
1 km resolution data from the NIMROD system data describe rain-rate observations taken at Hameldon, Lancashire, by NIMROD, which is a very short range forecasting system used by the Met Office. 1 km rain rate data are available from 2011 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Dual-polar products from the Met Office's Thurnham C-band rain radar, Kent, England. Data include augmented lrd (from April 2013) and zdr (from November 2013) scan data. 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 Jersey C-band rain radar, Channel Islands. Data include reflectivity wand Doppler products from April 2012 and May 2014 respectively. 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 Munduff Hill C-band rain radar, Glenrothes, Fife, Scotland. Data include augmented refractivity data from June 2014. 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 Hameldon, Lancashire, by NIMROD, which is a very short range forecasting system used by the Met Office. 5 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.
