Description

The HOPEX ER-2 DOPpler radar (EDOP) dataset consists of reprocessed data collected during the Houston Precipitation Experiment (HOPEX) field campaign during January 1995. The goal of HOPEX was to sample severe winter convection in the southeast United States and to perform the first series of test flights for the ER-2 DOPpler radar (EDOP). EDOP is an X-band doppler radar nose-mounted in the ER-2 aircraft. The reprocessing efforts for this dataset are limited to the previously processed data files and did not delve into reprocessing data from the raw files themselves.
