GPM GROUND VALIDATION ADVANCED MICROWAVE PRECIPITATION RADIOMETER (AMPR) MC3E V1

The GPM Ground Validation Advanced Microwave Precipitaiton Radiometer (AMPR) MC3E dataset was collected by the Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) instrument, which played a key role in the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E). The AMPR remotely sensed passive microwave signatures of geophysical parameters from an airborne platform. The instrument is a low noise system which provided multi-frequency microwave imagery with high spatial and temporal resolution. AMPR data were collected at a combination of four microwave frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1, and 85.5 GHz) with two orientations each (Vpol-to-Hpol and Hpol-to-Vpol), which were complimentary to current aircraft and satellite instrumentation. These frequencies are best suited to the study of rain systems, but were also useful to studies of other atmospheric, oceanic, and land surface processes.

GPM 地面验证高级微波降水辐射计（AMPR）MC3E 数据集由高级微波降水辐射计（AMPR）仪器收集，该仪器在中纬度大陆性对流云实验（MC3E）中发挥了关键作用。AMPR 从机载平台上遥感探测了地球物理参数的被动微波特征。该仪器为低噪声系统，提供了具有高空间和时间分辨率的多种频率微波图像。AMPR 数据在四种微波频率（10.7、19.35、37.1 和 85.5 GHz）的组合下收集，每个频率具有两种方向（Vpol 到 Hpol 和 Hpol 到 Vpol），这些方向与当前的机载和卫星仪器相辅相成。这些频率最适宜于研究降水系统，同时对其他大气、海洋和地表过程的研究也颇具价值。
