GPM Ground Validation Iowa Flood Center (IFC) Rain Gauges IFloodS V1

The GPM Ground Validation Iowa Flood Center (IFC) Rain Gauges IFloodS dataset was collected during the Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) field campaign from April 28, 2013 through May 20, 2013 near Shueyville City, Iowa. Four observation sites (15442, 15443, 15444, and 22390), each consisting of three tipping bucket rain gauges that collected 5-minute accumulations of precipitation data. The main goal of IFloodS was to evaluate how well the GPM satellite rainfall data can be used for flood forecasting. Specifically, this meant collecting detailed measurements of precipitation at the Earth’s surface using ground instruments and advanced weather radars while simultaneously collecting data from satellites passing overhead. These IFC Rain Gauge data are available in ASCII format, with corresponding browse images available in PNG format.

GPM 地面验证爱荷华洪水中心（IFC）雨量计 IFloodS 数据集是在 2013 年 4 月 28 日至 5 月 20 日期间，在爱荷华州 Shueyville 市附近收集的。该数据集包含四个观测站点（15442、15443、15444 和 22390），每个站点配备三个翻斗式雨量计，用于收集每 5 分钟的降水量累积数据。IFloodS 的主要目标是评估 GPM 卫星降水数据在洪水预报中的应用效果。具体而言，这意味着在地球表面使用地面仪器和先进的天气雷达收集详细的降水量测量数据，同时收集从头顶飞过的卫星数据。IFC 雨量计数据以 ASCII 格式提供，相应的浏览图像以 PNG 格式提供。
