Below are listings of Stepped Frequency Microwave Radiometer (SFMR) data from HRD aircraft missions into Ike. These files are in either NetCDF or ASCII format.

NOTICE: Due to problems with the radiometer equipment the SFMR-estimated wind speeds associated with the Air Force missions highlighted in pink below are suspect and should only be used with caution.
