GPM GROUND VALIDATION KINX NEXRAD MC3E V1

The GPM Ground Validation KINX NEXRAD MC3E dataset was collected from April 22, 2011 to June 6, 2011 for the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) which took place in central Oklahoma. The overarching goal of MC3E was to provide the most complete characterization of convective cloud systems, precipitation, and the environment that has ever been obtained, providing constraints for model cumulus parameterizations and space-based rainfall retrieval algorithms over land that had never before been available. The Next Generation Weather Radar system (NEXRAD) is comprised of 160 Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) sites throughout the United States and select overseas locations. The GPM Ground Validation NEXRAD MC3E data files are available as compressed binary files.

GPM 地面验证 KINX NEXRAD MC3E 数据集于 2011 年 4 月 22 日至 6 月 6 日期间收集于美国俄克拉荷马州中部地区举行的 Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) 项目。MC3E 的总体目标是为迄今为止所获得的最为完整的对流云系、降水及其环境特征提供描述，从而为模型中对流参数化及陆地上的基于空间的降雨回收算法提供前所未有的约束。下一代天气雷达系统 (NEXRAD) 包括遍布美国及部分海外地区的 160 个 WSR-88D（Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler）雷达站。GPM 地面验证 NEXRAD MC3E 数据文件以压缩的二进制文件形式提供。
