GPM Ground Validation Hydro-Estimator IPHEx V1

The GPM Ground Validation Hydro-Estimator IPHEx dataset contains rainfall rate estimates derived using NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) infrared (IR) brightness temperature data by researchers at the NOAA Center of Satellite Applications and Research’s (STAR) using the Hydro-Estimator (H-E) algorithm. Rainfall rate estimates are produced every 15 minutes throughout the continental United States, but for this dataset, have been subset to the North Carolina region for the Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) field campaign in support of Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) ground validation. These data are available in netCDF-4 format and consists of rain rate values from May 1, 2014 through June 16, 2014.

GPM 地面验证水文估算器 IPHEx 数据集包含由美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）卫星应用与研究中心（STAR）的研究人员，利用水文估算器（H-E）算法，基于 NOAAPort 地球静止操作环境卫星（GOES）的红外（IR）亮度温度数据所得出的降雨率估算值。该数据集在北美大陆范围内以 15 分钟的频率生成降雨率估算，但在此数据集中，已筛选出北卡罗来纳州区域的数据，以支持全球降水测量（GPM）地面验证的集成降水与水文实验（IPHEx）。这些数据以 netCDF-4 格式提供，并包含了自 2014 年 5 月 1 日至 2014 年 6 月 16 日期间的降雨率值。
