ICE-D: NCAS mobile X-band radar scan data from the Praia International Airport, Santiago, Cape Verde, Version 1

This dataset contains scan data from the National Centre for Atmospheric Science's (NCAS) mobile X-band radar collected at Praia International Airport, Santiago, Cape Verde between July and August 2015 as part of the Ice in Clouds Experiment - Dust (ICE-D). The radar has Doppler and dual-polarisation capability and measures the location and intensity of precipitation, radial winds and polarisation parameters.

The X-band radar is operated as part of the NCAS Atmospheric Measurement Facility (AMF).
