BNF Radar Examples

This is a place to collaborate on data related to the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility Advanced Mobile Facility (3) deployment to the Bankhead National Forest (BNF) site in the Southeastern United States.

Motivation¶

This repository is for collaborating on workflows and visualizations related to the ARM AMF deployment to the BNF site. We use a variety of datasets (mostly radar) to investigate different events, and provide open workflows for others to use.
