Abstract: Hurricane Irma, landed Florida on September 9th, 2017, was the most intense Atlantic hurricane striking the United States since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The evolution of Irma was well observed on September 9h–11th by an S-band EEC dual-pol radar deployed in Miami, FL. The radar applied a high temporal and spatial resolution (0.5 minute, 62.5∼125m range
