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.
