GPM GROUND VALIDATION FLIGHT SUMMARIES AND FLIGHT TRACKS IMAGERY MC3E V1

The GPM Ground Validation Flight Summaries and Flight Tracks Imagery MC3E dataset for the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) provides processed summaries from the University of North Dakota including sonde maps, a radar animation, parameter versus time charts, radar track graphs, and a summary including aircraft and instrument operational times. The MC3E took place in central Oklahoma during the April-June 2011 period. The experiment was a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Ground Validation (GV) program. The Flight Tracks imagery includes one animation for May 11, 2011 and the KICT 5 minute snapshots from the Real Time Mission Monitor (RTMM). This dataset is distributed with the MC3E ER-2 Navigation and the Citation Navigation datasets.

本数据集汇聚了中纬度大陆性对流云实验（MC3E）的GPM地面验证飞行摘要与飞行轨迹图像，由北达科他大学整理而成，内容涵盖探空图、雷达动画、参数随时间变化图表、雷达轨迹图以及包含飞机与仪器操作时间的综合摘要。实验于2011年4月至6月期间在俄克拉荷马州中部举行，系美国能源部（DOE）大气辐射测量（ARM）气候研究设施与国家航空航天局（NASA）全球降水测量（GPM）任务地面验证（GV）项目的一项协作成果。飞行轨迹图像包括2011年5月11日的一组动画以及来自实时任务监控器（RTMM）的KICT五分钟快照。该数据集伴随MC3E ER-2导航和Citation导航数据集一同分发。
