HS3 HIWRAP dataset now available at GHRC DAAC

The Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) has published another core dataset in the Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) collection. The HS3 High-altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (HIWRAP) dataset contains precipitation and wind measurements from the dual-frequency, dual-beam, conically scanning radar that has been designed for the Global Hawk. HIWRAP's dual-wavelength operation enables it to map full tropospheric winds from cloud and precipitation volume backscatter measurements, derive information about precipitation drop-size distributions, and estimate the ocean surface winds using scatterometry techniques.
