GPM Ground Validation Satellite Overpasses IFloodS V1

The GPM Ground Validation Satellite Overpasses IFloodS dataset contains plots of satellite overpass paths centered over eastern Iowa during the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) field campaign. The campaign aimed to collect detailed measurements of precipitation at the Earth’s surface while simultaneously collecting data from satellites passing overhead. This dataset consists of paths for Earth observation satellites operating during the campaign: NASA’s AQUA, TERRA, and CloudSat satellites; NOAA’s NOAA-15, NOAA-16, NOAA-17, NOAA-18, and Suomi NPP satellites; Europe’s MetOp-A and MetOp-B satellites, and DMSP’s F-15, F-16, F-17, and F-18 satellites. The satellite overpasses are provided as PNG plot images and as KML files with which the paths can be imported and viewed in Google Earth.

GPM 地面验证卫星过境 IFloodS 数据集收录了在全局降水测量（GPM）任务爱荷华州洪水研究（IFloodS）野外考察期间，以爱荷华州东部为中心的卫星过境路径图。此次考察旨在收集地球表面降水详细测量数据，并同时收集从上方飞越的卫星数据。本数据集包含了在考察期间运行的地表观测卫星路径：美国宇航局（NASA）的 AQUA、TERRA 和 CloudSat 卫星；美国国家海洋和大气管理局（NOAA）的 NOAA-15、NOAA-16、NOAA-17、NOAA-18 和 Suomi NPP 卫星；欧洲的 MetOp-A 和 MetOp-B 卫星，以及 DMSP 的 F-15、F-16、F-17 和 F-18 卫星。卫星过境路径以 PNG 图像形式提供，并作为 KML 文件，可通过这些文件将路径导入并使用 Google Earth 进行查看。
