GPM Ground Validation C-band Vantaa (VAN) Radar LPVEx V1

The GPM Ground Validation C-Band Radar datasets include radar reflectivity data from the Vantaa (VAN) dual-polarimetric C-Band Doppler radar in Finland during the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Light Precipitation Validation Experiment (LPVEx) field campaign. This radar, along with four others, provided reflectivity measurements for light precipitation systems during LPVEx. This field campaign took place around the Gulf of Finland, aiming to provide additional high-latitude, light rainfall measurements for the improvement of GPM satellite precipitation algorithms. The Vantaa C-Band Radar data files are available in RAW and UF format, with browse imagery in PNG format from September 16, 2010 through January 31, 2011.

全球降水测量（GPM）任务轻降水验证实验（LPVEx）现场调查期间，芬兰万塔（VAN）双偏振C波段多普勒雷达所收集的GPM地面验证C波段雷达数据集，包含了雷达反射率数据。该雷达及其它四部雷达共同提供了LPVEx期间轻降水系统的反射率测量数据。此次现场调查围绕芬兰湾展开，旨在为GPM卫星降水算法的改进提供额外的、高纬度的轻降雨量测量数据。万塔C波段雷达数据文件以RAW和UF格式提供，同时，自2010年9月16日至2011年1月31日，还提供了PNG格式的浏览图像。
