GPM GROUND VALIDATION NCAR CLOUD MICROPHYSICS PARTICLE PROBES GCPEX

The GPM Ground Validation NCAR Cloud Microphysics Particle Probes GCPEx data was collected during the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx), which occurred in Ontario, Canada during the winter season of 2011 through 2012. GCPEx addressed shortcomings in the GPM snowfall retrieval algorithm by collecting microphysical properties, associated remote sensing observations, and coordinated model simulations of precipitating snow. The GPM Ground Validation NCAR Cloud Microphysics Particle Probes GCPEx dataset was obtained from three instruments carried aboard the University of North Dakota (UND) Cessna Citation aircraft. These probes, the 2D-C, Cloud Imaging Probe (CIP) and High Volume Precipitation Spectrometer (HVPS-3), collected particle size distributions and particle images which were processed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Data were collected January 16, 2012 through February 25, 2012. A related cloud microphysics dataset, GPM Ground Validation UND Citation Cloud Microphysics GCPEx is also available.

GPM 地面验证 NCAR 云微物理粒子探测 GCPEx 数据集是在 2011-2012 年冬季于加拿大安大略省进行的 GPM 冷季降水实验（GCPEx）期间收集的。GCPEx 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，旨在解决 GPM 雪量检索算法的不足。GPM 地面验证 NCAR 云微物理粒子探测 GCPEx 数据集由搭载在北达科他大学（UND）塞斯纳 Citation 飞机上的三台仪器获得，包括 2D-C、云成像探头（CIP）和高体积降水光谱仪（HVPS-3）。这些探头收集了粒子尺寸分布和粒子图像，并由国家大气研究中心（NCAR）进行处理。数据收集时间为 2012 年 1 月 16 日至 2012 年 2 月 25 日。此外，还提供了相关的云微物理数据集，即 GPM 地面验证 UND Citation 云微物理 GCPEx 数据集。
