GPM GROUND VALIDATION KICT NEXRAD MC3E V1

The GPM Ground Validaiton KICT NEXRAD MC3E dataset was collected from April 22, 2011 to June 6, 2011 for the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) which took place in central Oklahoma. The overarching goal of MC3E was to provide the most complete characterization of convective cloud systems, precipitation, and the environment that has ever been obtained, providing constraints for model cumulus parameterizations and space-based rainfall retrieval algorithms over land that had never before been available. The Next Generation Weather Radar system (NEXRAD) is comprised of 160 Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) sites throughout the United States and select overseas locations. The GPM Ground Validation NEXRAD MC3E data files are available as compressed binary files.

GPM 地面验证 KICT NEXRAD MC3E 数据集收集于 2011 年 4 月 22 日至 6 月 6 日，旨在为中部俄克拉荷马州进行的 中纬度大陆性对流云实验 (MC3E) 提供支持。MC3E 的总体目标是为迄今为止获得的最为完整的对流云系统、降水及其环境的表征提供依据，并为模型积云参数化以及陆地上的基于空间降雨回收算法提供前所未有的限制。下一代天气雷达系统 (NEXRAD) 由遍布美国的 160 个气象监视雷达-1988 多普勒 (WSR-88D) 站点以及部分海外地点组成。GPM 地面验证 NEXRAD MC3E 数据文件以压缩的二进制文件形式提供。
