The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the High Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (HIWRAP) instrument micro article. The HIWRAP instrument is a Doppler radar designed to measure tropospheric winds through deriving Doppler profiles from cloud and precipitation volume backscatter.
The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the Lightning Instrument Package (LIP) instrument micro article. Comprised of 5-8 electric field mills deployed on an aircraft, LIP observes the three-dimensional components of the electric field. LIP does this by observing the changes in the environmental electric field.
The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the Airborne Vertical Atmospheric Profiling System (AVAPS) instrument micro article. AVAPS observes vertical profiles of key atmospheric variables, including temperature, pressure, humidity, wind speed, and wind direction.
The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the Dual-frequency Dual-polarized Doppler Radar (D3R) instrument micro article. D3R is a mobile, dual-frequency, fully polarimetric Doppler radar that operates primarily in support of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Ground Validation program.
GHRC DAAC will attend the 2019 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) held in San Francisco December 9-13. GHRC-related posters and presentations include:

The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the Cloud Radar System (CRS) Instrument Micro Article. The CRS is a 94 GHz, W-band, polarimetric Doppler radar that was designed to operate aboard the NASA ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft. It can also be used for ground-based operations.
