Dataset Card for 3D-NEXRAD
3D gridded radar reflectivity data collected from the U.S.NEXRAD WSR-88D radar network.
Dataset Description
The 3D-NEXRDA dataset comprises 3D radar observations of severe storm events across the United States, with each event captured at different geographic locations. The dataset provides high-resolution insights into storm dynamics with high temporal and spatial resolution.
Temporal Coverage:
Time Span: 2022.01.01 - 2022.12.31
Interval and Event Duration: 25 frames for each sequence spanning a period of 125 minutes per event
we are actively working to expand this dataset to cover the period from 2020 to 2022
Spatial Dimensions:
Horizontal Resolution: 512 × 512 for Each observation frame
Vertical Resolution: 28 levels, from 0.5 km to 7 km with 0.5 km intervals, and from 7 km to 22 km with 1 km intervals
Available Variables: 7 radar variables:
- Radar Reflectivity
- Velocity Spectrum Width
- Azimuthal Shear of the Radial Velocity
- Radial Divergence of the Radial Velocity
- Differential Radar Reflectivity
- Specific Differential Phase
- Copolar Correlation Coefficient
