GPM Ground Validation Southern Appalachian Rain Gauge IPHEx V1

The GPM Ground Validation Southern Appalachian Rain Gauge IPHEx dataset was collected during the Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) field campaign consisting of 45 observation sites. The main goal of IPHEx were to characterize warm season orographic precipitation regimes and hydrologic processes in regions of complex terrain, to contribute to the development, evaluation, and improvement of remote sensing precipitation algorithms in support of the GPM mission. These data are available in ASCII-csv format from January 3, 2008 thru December 31, 2014. Data collection began in 2008 due to the entire network being funded by the NASA Precipitation Measurement Missions (PMM) to make these observations of orographic precipitation in preparation for the IPHEx field campaign.

GPM 地面验证南部阿巴拉契亚山脉雨量计 IPHEx 数据集，在综合降水与水文实验（IPHEx）野外考察活动中采集，共涉及 45 个观测站点。IPHEx 的主要目标在于描绘暖季地形性降水系统及复杂地形区域的 hydrologic processes（水文过程），并为此类遥感降水算法的发展、评估与优化贡献力量，以支持 GPM 任务。这些数据自 2008 年 1 月 3 日至 2014 年 12 月 31 日期间，以 ASCII-csv 格式提供。数据收集始于 2008 年，得益于美国国家航空航天局降水测量任务（PMM）对整个网络的资助，旨在为 IPHEx 野外考察活动做好地形性降水的观测准备。
