The CAMEX-4 NPAA WP-3D Radar dataset used the NOAA WP-3D Orion aircraft, which has two separate research radars to collect meteorological data. One is mounted on the lower fuselage (C-band), and the other is located in the tail (X-band). CAMEX-4 focused on the study of tropical cyclone (hurricane) development, tracking, intensification, and landfalling impacts using NASA-funded aircraft and surface remote sensing instrumentation. Data from these radars consist of reflectivity in range and azimuth coordinates collected either in the horizontal (lower fuselage) or vertical (tail radar) planes. Doppler radial velocity is also collected by the tail radar. For further information and to obtain this data, please contact GHRC at support-ghrc@earthdata.nasa.gov

The CAMEX-4 Mobile X-Band Polarimetric Weather Radar dataset was collected by the Mobile X-band Polarimetric Weather Radar on Wheels (X-POW), which is a Doppler scanning radar operating at 9.3 GHz with horizontal and vertical polarization. The X-POW was used for detection and detailing of surface rainfall rate and precipitation classification fields, as well as for 3D precipitation microphysical retrievals including water/frozen hydrometeor contents and drop size distribution profiles. The X-POW was located in the Florida Keys during the CAMEX-4 field experiment.

The CAMEX-4 NASA Portable S-Band Multiparameter WX Research Radar dataset was collected by the NASA Portable S-band Multiparameter Weather Research Radar (NPOL), which is a Doppler S-band radar that when used continuously during an operation provides a full volume scan every ten minutes. Scans may be either 300km long range scans or 150km range for most high resolution data scans. Products available include real time PPI scans of reflectivities and velocities, and near real time displays of other radar products, including RHI's, CAPPI's, and Polarimetric products. Browse imagery is available for PPI reflectivities.

The CAMEX-4 ER-2 Doppler Radar dataset was collected by the ER-2 Doppler radar (EDOP), which is an X-band (9.6 GHz) Doppler radar mounted in the nose of ER-2. The instrument has two fixed antennas, one pointing at nadir and the second pointing approximately 33 degrees ahead of nadir. The beam width of the antenna is 3 degrees in the vertical and horizontal directions which, for a 20 km altitude, yields a nadir footprint at the surface of 1 km.
