- title: IDRA Raw Data
- abstract: This file contains the raw data streams of the FW-CW X-band (central frequency 9.475 GHz) polarimetric weather radar IDRA located on the top of the 213m agl. meteorological observation tower at Cabauw, The Netherlands. The datastreams comprises the complex I/Q signals of the beat signal for the two co-polarised (linear horizontal and linear vertical polarisation) and one cross-polarised receiver channel. The file contains as well the corresponding processed weather radar observables.
