Radar and VDRAS Dataset used in JGR paper

A Machine Learning Nowcasting Method based on Real-time Reanalysis Data

 

 

The radar and VDRAS data of seven historic heavy rainfall events in the Colorado front range area of the Rocky Mountains used in this study were collected from a retrospective study of historical heavy rain/flash flood cases conducted by the Short Term Explicit Prediction (STEP) Program of NCAR. STEP is a multi-NCAR laboratory activity aimed to improve the short-term forecasting of high-impact weather, such as severe thunderstorms, winter storms, and hurricanes (http://www.rap.ucar.edu/projects/step/).
