Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) Pilot: UK Met Office 2 km Nimrod Rain Radar Data

The UK Met Office NIMROD radar data describe rain-rate observations taken by NIMROD, which is a very short range forecasting system used by the Met Office. Data were collected during July 2004 at UK only stations. The dataset contains measurements of rain rate data and images. These data are 2 km resolution supplied specifically for the CSIP campaign.
