GPM Ground Validation NOAA X-band Polarimetric Radar (NOXP) IPHEx

The GPM Ground Validation NOAA X-band dual-Polarimetric radar (NOXP) IPHEx dataset consists of differential reflectivity, differential phase shift, co-polar cross correlation, radial Doppler velocity, spectrum width, signal index, melting layer index, reflectivity, drop size distribution, and rainfall rate observations, as well as other radar parameters, collected by NOXP mobile radar during the GPM Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) field campaign. The IPHEx field campaign occurred in the Southern Appalachians, spanning into the Piedmont and Coastal Plain regions of North Carolina. The NOXP radar, operated by the NOAA National Severe Storm Laboratory (NSSL), was positioned in the Pigeon River basin of the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. NOXP data are available in netCDF-3 format for dates between April 21, 2014 through June 15, 2014. The dataset includes weather condition photos taken at the NOXP radar site in JPG format.

GPM 地面验证项目之 NOAA X 波段双极化雷达（NOXP）IPHEx 数据集，包括由 NOXP 移动雷达在 GPM 集成降水与水文实验（IPHEx）野外考察期间收集的差异反射率、差异相移、共极交叉相关、径向多普勒速度、谱宽、信号指数、融化层指数、反射率、液滴尺寸分布和降雨率等观测数据，以及其他雷达参数。该数据集覆盖了北卡罗来纳州南部阿巴拉契亚山脉，并延伸至皮德蒙特和沿海平原地区。NOXP 雷达由美国国家气象局（NOAA）国家严重风暴实验室（NSSL）运营，位于北卡罗来纳州大烟雾山中的鸽河盆地。NOXP 数据以 netCDF-3 格式提供，涵盖 2014 年 4 月 21 日至 2014 年 6 月 15 日之间的日期。数据集还包含了在 NOXP 雷达站点拍摄的天气状况照片，照片格式为 JPG。
