Hameldon Hill C-band rain radar 1 km rainfall rate data
1 km resolution data from the NIMROD system data describe rain-rate observations taken at Hameldon, Lancashire, by NIMROD, which is a very short range forecasting system used by the Met Office. 1 km rain rate data are available from 2011 until present. Radar images from the C-band (5.3 cm wavelength) radar are received by the Nimrod system 5 minute intervals.

- Statement
- Data are acquired from rain radar network in the UK and Europe by the Met Office's NIMROD system. Composite products (images and data) and single site data are then sent to the BADC by the Met Office's DART operational dissemination system. Raw polar data from single sites are sent through from the RADARNET team at the Met Office. On arrival at the BADC the data are ingested after a one day quarantine.
