UND Cloud Microphysics IMPACTS V1

The UND Cloud Microphysics IMPACTS dataset consists of cloud particle measurements collected during the Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) field campaign. IMPACTS was a three-year sequence of winter season deployments conducted to study snowstorms over the U.S. Atlantic Coast (2020-2023). The campaign aimed to (1) Provide observations critical to understanding the mechanisms of snowband formation, organization, and evolution; (2) Examine how the microphysical characteristics and likely growth mechanisms of snow particles vary across snowbands; and (3) Improve snowfall remote sensing interpretation and modeling to significantly advance prediction capabilities. The UND Cloud Microphysics IMPACTS dataset files are stored in ASCII format from January 25, 2020, through February 28, 2023.

联合国云微物理IMPACTS数据集包含在调查大西洋沿岸威胁性暴风雪的微物理和降水（IMPACTS）野外考察活动中收集的云粒子测量数据。IMPACTS是一项为期三年的冬季部署序列，于2020年至2023年期间对美国大西洋沿岸的暴风雪进行研究。该考察活动旨在：（1）提供对理解雪带形成、组织和演化的机制至关重要的观测数据；（2）研究雪粒子的微物理特征及其可能的增长机制在不同雪带中的变化；（3）提升降雪遥感解释和建模能力，以显著推进预测能力。联合国云微物理IMPACTS数据集文件以ASCII格式存储，时间跨度为2020年1月25日至2023年2月28日。
