GPM GROUND VALIDATION NEXRAD LEVEL II KDVN IFLOODS

The GPM Ground Validation Next Generation Weather Radar (NEXRAD) Level II IFloodS datasets were collected from four sites (see Table 1) from March 29, 2013 to June 18, 2013 for the GPM Ground Validation Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) field campaign in central-northeastern Iowa. Officially, the IFloodS campaign ran from May 1 to June 15, 2013 but the NEXRAD data was collected prior to the start, allowing for the wider period of record. There are currently 160 Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) or NEXRAD sites throughout the United States and select overseas locations. The resulting data includes the base data (Level-II) and the derived products (Level-III). These Level-II datasets include three meteorological base data quantities: reflectivity, mean radial velocity, and spectrum width. The GPM Ground Validation NEXRAD Level II IFloodS data files are in a custom binary format; the visualization and decoding of the data requires specialized software. Browse imagery is available in PNG file format.

GPM GROUND VALIDATION NASA S-BAND DUAL POLARIMETRIC (NPOL) DOPPLER RADAR MC3E

The GPM Ground Validation NASA S-band Dual Polarimetric (NPOL) Doppler Radar MC3E dataset was collected by the NASA NPOL radar, which was developed by a research team from Wallops Flight Facility, is a fully transportable and self-contained S-band (10 cm), scanning dual-polarimetric, doppler research radar that collected data nearly continuously during the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) field campaign. 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. NPOL scanned in high resolution Range Height Indicator (RHI) mode (every 40 sec) and provided measurements of precipitation in liquid, mixed and ice phase. The scanning strategy emphasized vertical structure sampling via RHI and narrow sector-volume data collections. Additional files were processed from the UF files using the Colorado State University (CSU) Hydrometeor Identification Algorithm (HID) providing classification of hydrometeors (e.g. rain, drizzle, hail, ice crystals, wet or dry snow, graupel density). Data was collected from April 11, 2011 through June 3, 2011.
