GPM GROUND VALIDATION NOAA SURFACE METEOROLOGICAL STATION MC3E

The GPM Ground Validation NOAA Surface Meteorological Station MC3E dataset was collected at the NOAA Southern Great Plains Facility for the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) and includes measurements of wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity and precipitation. The overarching goal was to provide the most complete characterization of convective cloud systems, precipitation, and the environment that has ever been obtained, providing constraints for model cumulus parameterizations and space-based rainfall retrieval algorithms over land that had never before been available. The instruments gathering this data were respectively a propeller wind monitor located 10 meters above the ground, a temperature and humidity sensor at the ground, and a tipping rain gauge at the ground. These data were collected from April 5, 2011 to June 7, 2011.

GPM 地面验证项目中的 NOAA 地面气象站 MC3E 数据集，系在 NOAA 南部大平原设施为进行中纬度大陆性对流云实验（MC3E）而收集，内容涵盖风速、风向、气温、湿度及降水量的测量。该数据集旨在提供迄今为止对对流云系统、降水及其环境的最全面描述，为模型中对流参数化和基于空间的陆面降雨检索算法提供前所未有的约束。收集这些数据的仪器分别为位于地面10米高处的螺旋桨风速计、地面温度和湿度传感器以及地面倾斜式雨量计。数据收集时间跨度为2011年4月5日至2011年6月7日。
