Retrievals of Doppler Wind Divergence Profiles from SMART-R and TOGA Radars during DYNAMO

This data set contains retrievals of Doppler wind divergence profiles from the SMART-R and TOGA radars using the Velocity-Azimuth Display (VAD) methodology at hourly resolution during the Dynamics of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (DYNAMO) project. The SMART-R radar was located on Addu Atoll in the Maldives and the TOGA radar was on the R/V Revelle ship platform. The data are in NetCDF and IDL SAVE file formats.
