GPM GROUND VALIDATION ENVIRONMENT CANADA (EC) WIND PROFILER GCPEX V1

The GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Wind Profiler GCPEx dataset provides post-processed consensus winds and daily quick look plots from the Vaisala Wind Profiler LAP 3000. The daily plots depict wind information, such as wind speed and wind direction, from the profiler and from the Global Environmental Multiscale (GEM) model data. The LAP 3000 is a pulsed Doppler radar that operates in clean air. The Wind profiler data was collected January 15, 2012 through March 1, 2012 for the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx) at the CARE site in Ontario, Canada. This dataset was collected to aid in the achievement of the over arching goal of GCPEx which is to characterize the ability of multi-frequency active and passive microwave sensors to detect and estimate falling snow.

加拿大环境与气候变化部（EC）提供的GPM地面验证环境（GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada）风廓线仪GCPEx数据集，包含了Vaisala风廓线仪LAP 3000的后处理一致性风速数据以及每日快速浏览图。每日的浏览图展示了来自风廓线仪和全球环境多尺度（Global Environmental Multiscale）模型数据的风速和风向等信息。LAP 3000是一款脉冲多普勒雷达，其在洁净空气中运行。该风廓线仪数据于2012年1月15日至2012年3月1日收集于加拿大安大略省的CARE研究站，作为GPM冷季降水实验（GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment，GCPEx）的一部分。本数据集的收集旨在协助实现GCPEx的总体目标，即描述多频段主动和被动微波传感器检测与估计降雪能力。
