HURRICANE AND SEVERE STORM SENTINEL (HS3) GLOBAL HAWK HIGH ALTITUDE MMIC SOUNDING RADIOMETER (HAMSR) V1

The Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) Global Hawk High Altitude MMIC Sounding Radiometer (HAMSR) dataset includes measurements gathered by the HAMSR instrument during the HS3 campaign. Goals for HS3 included: assessing the relative roles of large-scale environment and storm-scale internal processes; and addressing the controversial role of the Saharan Air Layer (SAL) in tropical storm formation and intensification as well as the role of deep convection in the inner-core region of storms. HAMSR has 25 spectral channels which are split into 3 bands: an 8-channel band centered 53-GHz, used to infer the 3-D distribution of temperature; a 10-channel band centered at 118 GHz, used for secondary temperature sounding and assessment of scattering; and a 7-channel band centered at 183 GHz, used to measure water vapor (humidity) and cloud liquid water content in the atmosphere. This dataset also contains measurements that can be used to infer the 3-dimensional distribution of temperature, water vapor, and cloud liquid water profiles in the atmosphere, even in the presence of clouds. HAMSR is mounted in payload zone 3 near the nose of the Global Hawk NASA aircraft. Data is available in netCDF/CF format.

《飓风与严重风暴探测卫星》（HS3）全球鹰高空毫米波辐射计（HAMSR）数据集，包含了在HS3活动期间由HAMSR仪器收集的测量数据。HS3的目标包括：评估大规模环境与风暴尺度内部过程的相对作用；以及探讨撒哈拉空气层（SAL）在热带风暴形成和增强中的争议性作用，以及深层对流在风暴核心区域的作用。HAMSR拥有25个光谱通道，分为三个波段：一个以53-GHz为中心的8通道波段，用于推断温度的三维分布；一个以118 GHz为中心的10通道波段，用于次级温度探测和散射评估；以及一个以183 GHz为中心的7通道波段，用于测量大气中的水汽（湿度）和云液态水含量。此数据集还包含可用于推断大气中温度、水汽和云液态水廓线的三维分布的测量数据，即使在云层存在的情况下。HAMSR安装在位于全球鹰NASA飞机鼻部的载荷区3。数据以netCDF/CF格式提供。
