GPM GROUND VALIDATION VAISALA CEILOMETER IPHEx V1

The GPM Ground Validation Vaisala Ceilometer IPHEx dataset consists of vertical profiles of attenuated backscatter and cloud base and boundary layer height data gathered during the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) Ground Validation Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) in North Carolina. The goal of IPHEx was to evaluate the accuracy of satellite precipitation measurements and use the collected data for hydrology models in the region during an intense study period from May 1 through June 15, 2014. This dataset includes data from the Vaisala Ceilometer CL51 which is part of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) Aerosol-Cloud-Humidity Interactions Exploring and Validating Enterprise (ACHIEVE) ground-based mobile laboratory. It measures vertical profiles of aerosol backscatter and performs a retrieval of cloud base detection and boundary layer structure. The data files are available from May 6 through June 16, 2014 in netCDF-3 format.

本数据集为GPM地面验证项目中的瓦萨拉 ceilometer IPHEx数据集，该数据集包含了在北卡罗来纳州进行的全球降水任务（GPM）地面验证综合降水与水文实验（IPHEx）期间收集的衰减后向散射、云底高度以及边界层高度垂直剖面数据。IPHEx实验旨在评估卫星降水测量的准确性，并利用所收集的数据对区域水文模型进行校准，实验期间为2014年5月1日至6月15日。该数据集涵盖了来自瓦萨拉 ceilometer CL51的数据，该设备属于美国宇航局戈达德太空飞行中心（NASA Goddard Space Flight Center，简称GSFC）的气溶胶-云-湿度相互作用探索与验证企业（ACHIEVE）地面移动实验室。该设备测量气溶胶后向散射的垂直剖面，并执行云底检测及边界层结构的恢复。数据文件以netCDF-3格式提供，时间范围从2014年5月6日至6月16日。
