GPM GROUND VALIDATION CLOUD RADAR SYSTEM (CRS) IPHEx V1

The GPM Ground Validation Cloud Radar System (CRS) IPHEx data were collected in support of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) in North Carolina, with an intense study period occurring from May 1, 2014 through June 15, 2014. The goal of IPHEx was to evaluate the accuracy of satellite precipitation measurements and use the collected data for hydrology models in the region. The ER-2 aircraft flew during the IPHEx field campaign to aid in GPM validation. The science instruments, including the CRS, onboard the aircraft acted as a proxy for GPM satellite instruments. The CRS provided high-resolution profiles of reflectivity and Doppler velocity in clouds at aircraft nadir along the flight track. The CRS data are available from May 3, 2014 through June 12, 2014 and files for this dataset are available in netCDF-3 format.

全球降水测量计划（GPM）地面验证云雷达系统（CRS）IPHEx数据集是在北卡罗来纳州为支持全球降水测量计划（GPM）综合降水与水文实验（IPHEx）而收集的，其中2014年5月1日至2014年6月15日为研究的高峰期。IPHEx的目的是评估卫星降水测量的准确性，并利用收集到的数据为该区域的水文模型提供支持。在IPHEx现场实验期间，ER-2飞机参与飞行，以协助GPM的验证。飞机上的科学仪器，包括CRS，作为GPM卫星仪器的代理。CRS提供了沿飞行轨迹在飞机底部的云层反射率和多普勒速度的高分辨率剖面。CRS数据自2014年5月3日至2014年6月12日可用，且该数据集的文件以netCDF-3格式提供。
