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
  • Data Source:

    This dataset was re-collected, collated and pre-processed from:

    GridRad-Severe - Three-Dimensional Gridded NEXRAD WSR-88D Radar Data for Severe Events. Research Data Archive at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, Computational and Information Systems Laboratory. Dataset. https://doi.org/10.5065/2B46-1A97. Accessed† 26 Nov 2024.
