get_pvol() can read polar volume data from a number of
sources. See the map for details.
To get an overview of weather radar metadata, use
get_weather_radars().
get_vpts() can read vertical profile data from the
following sources. These sources correspond to different processing
pipelines. They can, for example, use polar volumnes that have been
processed and filtered in different ways, for more details see Shamoun-Baranes et
al. (2020). Multiple sources can thus contain data from from the
same radar and time periods. For an overview of the coverage available
use get_vpts_coverage() or explore the article
on the getRad webpage.
These data are stored on the Aloft bucket. The baltrad
source covers most radars and longest time series, however data quality
is more variable as polar volumes are sometimes filtered for biological
signals before processing to vertical profiles. uva and
ecog-04003 are more curated datasets. See details.
These data are provided by the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium (RMI). This dataset is restricted to Belgium and some radars in the surrounding countries. See details.
