GPM Ground Validation Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Near-Real Time Rain Rates IFloodS

The GPM Ground Validation Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Near-Real Time Rain Rates IFloodS data product was created for the GPM Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) field campaign from April 23, 2013 through June 30, 2013. The IFloodS field campaign was a ground measurement campaign that took place in eastern Iowa. The goals of the campaign were to collect detailed measurements of precipitation at the Earth’s surface using ground instruments and advanced weather radars and to simultaneously collect data from satellites passing overhead. This NRL real time rain rates data product was produced using the Probability Matching Method with rain gauge, Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F15 Special Sensor Microwave - Imager (SSM/I), and DMSP F16 Special Sensor Microwave - Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) data. This data product includes rain rate estimates and files are available in netCDF-4 and binary formats, as well as corresponding browse imagery in JPG format.

GPM 地面验证海军研究实验室（NRL）近实时降雨率 IFloodS 数据产品，系为 2013 年 4 月 23 日至 2013 年 6 月 30 日期间进行的 GPM 爱荷华洪水研究（IFloodS）野外实验而构建。IFloodS 野外实验是一项地面测量活动，在爱荷华州东部地区展开。该实验旨在通过地面仪器和先进的天气雷达，对地球表面的降水进行详细测量，并同步收集过境卫星数据。NRL 近实时降雨率数据产品采用概率匹配法，结合雨量计、国防气象卫星计划（DMSP）F15 特殊微波成像仪（SSM/I）以及 DMSP F16 特殊微波成像仪/探测器（SSMIS）的数据制作而成。该数据产品包含降雨率估算，文件格式为 netCDF-4 和二进制格式，同时提供相应的 JPG 格式浏览图像。
