GPM GROUND VALIDATION ENVIRONMENT CANADA (EC) PASSIVE MICROWAVE RADIOMETER AND SOIL MOISTURE-TEMPERATURE DATA GCPEX

The GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Passive Microwave Radiometer and Soil Moisture-Temperature Data GCPEx dataset is consisted of data during the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx) at the Centre for Atmospheric Research Experiments (CARE) site in Ontario, Canada during the winter season 2011-2012. GCPEx addressed shortcomings in the GPM snowfall retrieval algorithm by collecting microphysical properties, associated remote sensing observations, and coordinated model simulations of precipitating snow. Data collected includes microwave brightness temperatures, snow and soil/snow-air interface (ground surface temperatures), soil surface temperatures, and soil volumetric water content. These data were acquired by multiple instruments: a passive microwave radiometer, a water content reflectometer, thermistors, soil moisture probe.

加拿大环境部（EC）GPM 地面验证环境中的 GPM 冷季降水实验（GCPEx）被动微波辐射计及土壤湿度-温度数据集，包含在 2011-2012 年冬季于加拿大安大略省大气研究实验中心（CARE）站点进行的 GPM 冷季降水实验期间的数据。GCPEx 项目旨在解决 GPM 雪量检索算法的不足，通过收集微物理特性、相关遥感观测以及降水雪的协调模型模拟。数据收集内容包括微波亮度温度、雪和土壤/雪-空气界面（地表温度）、土壤表面温度以及土壤体积含水量。这些数据由多种仪器获取，包括被动微波辐射计、含水量反射计、热敏电阻和土壤湿度探头。
