GPM GROUND VALIDATION MCGILL W-BAND RADAR GCPEX V1

The GPM Ground Validation McGill W-Band Radar GCPEx dataset was collected from February 1, 2012 to February 29, 2012 at the CARE site in Ontario, Canada as a part of the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx). This datset was collected to aid in the achievement of the over arching goal of GCPEx which is to characterize the ability of multi-frequency active and passive microwave sensors to detect and estimate falling snow. The W-Band radar is a single antenna, 94-GHz pulsed Doppler, vertical pointing radar system. Data products from the W-Band radar include radar reflectivity, Doppler moments, and Doppler spectra of variable lengths. The W-Band radar is primarily used to research various cloud properties. The GPM Ground Validation McGill W-Band Radar GCPEx dataset is available in netCDF format.

该 GPM 地面验证麦吉尔 W-波段雷达 GCPEx 数据集于 2012 年 2 月 1 日至 2012 年 2 月 29 日在加拿大安大略省的 CARE 站点采集，作为 GPM 冷季降水实验（GCPEx）的一部分。该数据集的采集旨在协助实现 GCPEx 的总体目标，即描述多频段主动和被动微波传感器在检测和估算降雪能力方面的性能。W-波段雷达是一款单天线、94GHz 脉冲多普勒、垂直指向的雷达系统。W-波段雷达的数据产品包括雷达反射率、多普勒矩和多普勒谱，其长度不一。W-波段雷达主要用于研究各类云的特性。GPM 地面验证麦吉尔 W-波段雷达 GCPEx 数据集以 netCDF 格式提供。
