Abstract:

This dataset features S-band Dual Polarization Doppler (S-Pol) radar moments collected during the Prediction of Rainfall Extremes Campaign in the Pacific (PRECIP) between May 25, 2015, and August 11, 2022. While the original 2TB archive consists of 3-hourly tarred CfRadial1 netCDF files, this refined version has been converted into a cloud-optimized, Analysis-Ready Data (ARCO) with CfRadial2 convention in Zarr format. This version allows researchers to perform high-speed parallel processing without the overhead of unpacking traditional radar data.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in GDEX citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
