GPM GROUND VALIDATION IOWA X-BAND POLARIMETRIC MOBILE DOPPLER WEATHER RADARS IFLOODS V1

The GPM Ground Validation Iowa X-band Polarimetric Mobile Doppler Weather Radars IFloodS dataset was gathered during the IFloodS campaign from April to June 2013 throughout central and northeastern Iowa. The Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) was a ground measurement campaign that took place throughout Iowa from May 1 to June 15, 2013. The main goal of IFloodS was to evaluate how well the GPM satellite rainfall data can be used for flood forecasting. Four X-band Polarimetric (XPOL) Mobile Doppler Weather Radars were used to collected high-resolution observations of precipitation. The data consists of reflectivity, Doppler velocity, spectrum width, differential reflectivity, differential phase, copolar correlation coefficient, and sound-to-noise ratios. These data are available in netCDF, and browse image files are available in .png format.

GPM 地面验证爱荷华 X 波段极化移动多普勒天气雷达 IFloodS 数据集是在 2013 年 4 月至 6 月期间，通过爱荷华州中部和东北部地区进行的 IFloodS 行动中收集的。爱荷华洪水研究（IFloodS）是一次从 2013 年 5 月 1 日至 6 月 15 日的地面测量行动。IFloodS 的主要目标是评估 GPM 卫星降雨数据在洪水预测中的应用效果。在此行动中，共使用了四台 X 波段极化（XPOL）移动多普勒天气雷达，以收集高分辨率的降水观测数据。数据集包括反射率、多普勒速度、频谱宽度、差分反射率、差分相位、共极化相关系数以及信噪比。这些数据以 netCDF 格式提供，并附有 .png 格式的浏览图像文件。
