Abstract
Rainfall products derived from radar data often consume vast amounts of storage space and are time-consuming to analyze. Shipborne radar data collected during the Tropical Ocean Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) provide an extensive data set to examine rainfall characteristics in the tropical Western Pacific Ocean. TOGA COARE shipborne radar-rainfall products have been organized into a database with efficient storage and access time characteristics. Software for reading and visually browsing the data has been developed and made available to provide users with a convenient method to study the data set.
