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)](https://doi.org/10.1175/BAMS-D-21-0196.1). 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](https://aloftdata.github.io/getRad/articles/vpts_coverage.html) on the getRad webpage. ### baltrad, uva, ecog-04003 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](https://aloftdata.eu/faq/#what-data-are-in-the-bucket). ### rmi 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](https://opendata.meteo.be/geonetwork/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/RMI_DATASET_CROW).
