GPM GROUND VALIDATION ER-2 X-BAND RADAR (EXRAD) IPHEX V1

The GPM Ground Validation ER-2 X-band Radar (EXRAD) IPHEx dataset was collected in support of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Ground Validation Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) field campaign in North Carolina, with an intense study period occurring from May 1, 2014 through June 15, 2014. The goal of IPHEx was to evaluate the accuracy of satellite precipitation measurements and use the collected data for hydrology models in the region. EXRAD is a single-frequency X-band Doppler radar that measures reflectivity and Doppler velocity. The science instruments, including the EXRAD, onboard the NASA ER-2 aircraft acted as a proxy for GPM satellite instruments. This dataset is available in netCDF-3 file format.

GPM 地面验证 ER-2 X波段雷达（EXRAD）IPHEx 数据集是在支持全球降水测量（GPM）任务地面验证集成降水和水利实验（IPHEx）现场活动过程中收集的，该活动在北卡罗来纳州进行，其中研究高峰期从2014年5月1日至2014年6月15日。IPHEx 的目标是对卫星降水测量的准确性进行评估，并利用收集的数据为该区域的水文模型提供支持。EXRAD 是一种单频X波段多普勒雷达，用于测量反射率和多普勒速度。搭载在 NASA ER-2 飞机上的科学仪器，包括 EXRAD，作为 GPM 卫星仪器的代理。该数据集以 netCDF-3 文件格式提供。
