GPM Ground Validation NASA EPFL-LTE Parsivel DSD Data now available at GHRC

Parsivel disdrometers - LPVEx

The Global Hydrology Resource Center has published the GPM Ground Validation NASA EPFL-LTE Parsivel DSD Data from Lausanne, Switzerland (http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/GPMGV/EPFL/DATA201). The dataset consists of a network of 16 Parsivel disdrometers deployed by the Environmental Remote Sensing Laboratory (Laboratoire de Télédétection Environnementale – LTE) on the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne (EPFL) campus in Lausanne, Switzerland for about 16 months from March 2009 to July 2010. The distribution of the disdrometers was to cover a typical operational radar pixel (about 1x1 km2). Since all the stations were not deployed at the same time, additional data are available from November 2008 to September 2010. The dataset also includes a list of precipitation events that occurred throughout the study period.
