GPM Ground Validation Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Images MC3E V1

The GPM Ground Validation Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Images MC3E dataset consists of browse only images showing radar reflectivity, radar echo top, convective available potential energy (CAPE), temperature, geopotential height, wind speed, relative humidity, rain water, snow, cloud water, cloud ice, and graupel. These data were simulated by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) for the period of the GPM Ground Validation Mid-­latitude Continental Convective Cloud Experiment (MC3E) field campaign. The overarching goal of the MC3E field campaign was to provide the most complete characterization of convective cloud systems, precipitation, and the environment ever obtained and to provide new constraints for model cumulus parameterizations and space-­based rainfall retrieval algorithms over land. Browse imagery files in PNG and GIF formats are available for April 19, 2011 through June 6, 2011.

GPM地面验证天气研究和预报（WRF）图像MC3E数据集包含仅浏览的图像，展示了雷达反射率、雷达回波顶、对流有效位能（CAPE）、温度、位势高度、风速、相对湿度、雨水、雪、云水、云冰和霰等气象要素。这些数据由WRF天气研究和预报模型在GPM地面验证中纬度大陆对流云实验（MC3E）现场观测期间进行模拟。MC3E现场观测的总体目标是提供迄今为止对对流云系统、降水及其环境最为全面的描述，并为陆地对流参数化模型和基于空间的降雨提取算法提供新的约束。PNG和GIF格式的浏览图像文件可供下载，时间范围从2011年4月19日至2011年6月6日。
