New York State Mesonet IMPACTS

The New York State Mesonet IMPACTS dataset is browse-only. It consists of temperature, wind, wind direction, mean sea level pressure, precipitation, and snow depth measurements, as well as profiler Doppler LiDAR and Microwave Radiometer (MWR) measurements from the New York State Mesonet network during the Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) field campaign, a three-year sequence of winter season deployments conducted to study snowstorms over the U.S. Atlantic coast. IMPACTS aimed to (1) Provide observations critical to understanding the mechanisms of snowband formation, organization, and evolution; (2) Examine how the microphysical characteristics and likely growth mechanisms of snow particles vary across snowbands; and (3) Improve snowfall remote sensing interpretation and modeling to advance prediction capabilities significantly. The Mesonet network consists of ground weather stations, LiDAR profilers, and microwave radiometer (MWR) profilers. These browse files are available from January 3, 2020, through March 2, 2023, in PNG format.

纽约州Mesonet IMPACTS数据集仅提供浏览功能。该数据集包含温度、风速、风向、平均海平面气压、降水量和积雪深度等测量数据，以及来自纽约州Mesonet网络在调查大西洋沿岸威胁性暴风雪的微物理和降水（IMPACTS）野外考察期间所采集的探空气象雷达（Profiler Doppler LiDAR）和微波辐射计（Microwave Radiometer, MWR）测量数据。该考察为期三年，旨在研究美国大西洋沿岸的暴风雪。IMPACTS项目旨在：（1）提供对理解雪带形成、组织和演化的机制至关重要的观测数据；（2）研究雪粒的微物理特性和可能的增长机制在雪带中的变化；（3）提升降雪遥感解释和建模能力，显著增强预测能力。Mesonet网络由地面气象站、激光雷达剖面仪和微波辐射计剖面仪组成。这些浏览文件自2020年1月3日起至2023年3月2日止，以PNG格式提供。
