Ka ARM Zenith Radar (KAZR): moderate sensitivity mode

The sgpkazrmdC1.b1 datastream contains measurements of radar reflectivity from the Ka ARM Zenith Radar (KAZR) operating in moderate sensitivity mode. This instrument remotely probes the extent and composition of clouds at millimeter wavelengths, using radar technology to determine the first three Doppler moments, including reflectivity, at a range resolution of approximately 30 meters from near-ground to nearly 20 kilometers in altitude. The data were processed for Facility C1 (Central Facility, Lamont, OK), which is at the SGP site (Southern Great Plains) between May 3, 2011 and March 15, 2014.
