PRECIP: NCAR S-Pol Radar Moments Zarr Subset

This dataset features S-band Dual Polarization Doppler (S-Pol) radar moments collected during the Prediction of Rainfall Extremes Campaign in the Pacific (PRECIP) between May 25, 2015, and August 11, 2022. While the original 2TB archive consists of 3-hourly tarred CfRadial1 netCDF files, this refined version has been converted into a cloud-optimized, Analysis-Ready Data (ARCO) with CfRadial2 convention in Zarr format. This version allows researchers to perform high-speed parallel processing without the overhead of unpacking traditional radar data. Original data file can be fine here (https://doi.org/10.26023/QA4M-CDHH-MY0Z [https://doi.org/10.26023/QA4M-CDHH-MY0Z])
