Airborne Precipitation Radar 3rd Generation (APR-3) CPEX-AW

The Airborne Precipitation Radar 3rd Generation (APR-3) CPEX-AW dataset consists of radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity for all bands, linear depolarization ratio Ku-band, and normalized radar cross section measurements at Ka- and Ku- bands data collected by the APR-3 onboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft. These data were gathered during the Convective Processes Experiment – Aerosols & Winds (CPEX-AW) field campaign. CPEX-AW was a joint effort between the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) with the primary goal of conducting a post-launch calibration and validation activities of the Atmospheric Dynamics Mission-Aeolus (ADM-AEOLUS) Earth observation wind Lidar satellite in St. Croix. These data files are available from August 20, 2021 through September 4, 2021 in a MatLab file, with associated browse files in JPEG format.

空中降水雷达第三代（APR-3）CPEX-AW数据集包含了雷达反射率、所有波段的多普勒速度、Ku波段线性去极化比以及Ka和Ku波段的归一化雷达截面测量数据，这些数据由搭载于NASA DC-8飞机上的APR-3雷达收集。这些数据是在对流过程实验——气溶胶与风（CPEX-AW）野外考察期间收集的。CPEX-AW项目为美国国家航空航天局（NASA）与欧洲航天局（ESA）的联合努力，其主要目标是对大气动力学任务-风神号（ADM-AEOLUS）地球观测风激光雷达卫星在圣克罗伊的发射后校准和验证活动进行。这些数据文件自2021年8月20日至2021年9月4日以MatLab格式提供，并附带JPEG格式的浏览文件。
