GPM GROUND VALIDATION METEOROLOGICAL TOWER ENVIRONMENT CANADA GCPEX V1

The GPM Ground Validation Meteorological Tower Environment Canada GCPEx dataset provides temperature, relative humidity, 10 m winds, pressure and solar radiation data collected by a suite of standard meteorological instruments attached to a 10 m met tower. The GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx) addressed shortcomings in the GPM snowfall retrieval algorithm by collecting microphysical properties, associated remote sensing observations, and coordinated model simulations of precipitating snow. Data was gathered over the Ontario region of Canada in 2012 from January 15th through March 1st. Browse images are available online. The observation station was assembled by Automated Transportable Meteorological Observation Station (ATMOS).

加拿大环境与气候变化部（Environment Canada）所构建的GPM地面验证气象塔（GPM Ground Validation Meteorological Tower）GCPEx数据集，通过一套标准气象仪器在10米气象塔上收集了温度、相对湿度、10米风速、气压和太阳辐射数据。该GPM冷季降水实验（GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment，简称GCPEx）旨在弥补GPM降雪检索算法的不足，通过收集微物理特性、相关的遥感观测数据以及协调的降水雪模型模拟。数据采集于2012年1月15日至3月1日，覆盖加拿大安大略地区。在线提供浏览图像。观测站由自动可移动气象观测站（Automated Transportable Meteorological Observation Station，简称ATMOS）组装。
