The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the GPM Ground Validation Joss-Waldvogel Disdrometer (JW) LPVEx dataset. This dataset consists of precipitation drop size distribution (DSD) data collected by the Joss-Waldvogel (JW) disdrometer during the GPM Ground Validation Light Precipitation Validation Experiment (LPVEx). This field campaign took place around the Gulf of Finland in September and October of 2010. The goal of the campaign was to provide additional high-latitude, light rainfall measurements for the improvement of GPM satellite precipitation algorithms. The JW disdrometer dataset files are available in ASCII text format from September 10 through November 9, 2010. GHRC News

The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the CAMEX-3 LiDAR Atmospheric Sensing Experiment (LASE) Imagery dataset. This dataset is a browse-only dataset that consists of plotted reflectivity data collected by the LiDAR Atmospheric Sensing Experiment (LASE) during the third field campaign in the Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) series, CAMEX-3. This field campaign took place from August to September 1998 based out of Patrick Air Force Base in Florida, with the purpose of studying the various aspects of tropical cyclones in the region. The LiDAR was mounted onboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft, and the daily browse files are available from August 21 through September 5, 1998 in GIF format. It should be noted that the DC-8 aircraft did not operate each day of the campaign, therefore, data are only available on flight days.
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 CAMEX-3 ER-2 Doppler Radar (EDOP) dataset. This dataset is a browse-only dataset that consists of plotted reflectivity and Doppler velocity data collected by the ER-2 Doppler Radar (EDOP) during the third field campaign in the Convection And Moisture EXperiment (CAMEX) series, CAMEX-3. This field campaign took place from August to September 1998 based out of Patrick Air Force Base in Florida, with the purpose of studying the various aspects of tropical cyclones in the region. EDOP was mounted onboard the NASA ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft from which it obtained vertical profiles of convection within tropical cyclones. The daily browse files are available from August 5 through September 27, 1998 in GIF format. It should be noted that the ER-2 aircraft did not operate each day of the campaign, therefore, data are only available on flight days.
The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the GPM Ground Validation Optical Disdrometer (ODM) LPVEx dataset. This dataset consists of precipitation particle size distribution data collected by the Eigenbrodt Optical Disdrometer (ODM) deployed onboard the RV Aranda research vessel. ODM was specifically designed to measure precipitation on ship-based platforms that experience high and variable winds. ODM’s ability to maintain the optimal orientation with respect to the wind allows it to obtain more accurate precipitation measurements in this type of environment. The ODM data were collected as part of the Light Precipitation Validation Experiment (LPVEx) in September and October of 2010 around the Gulf of Finland. The overarching goals of LPVEx were to detect and understand the process of light rainfall formation at high latitudes and to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of precipitation algorithms for current and future satellite platforms. The ODM dataset files are available in ASCII text format from September 15 through September 26, 2010. It should also be noted that the ODM data were only recorded during minutes when there was precipitation occurring, therefore, the data inside each daily file are not continuous. ODM data are only available for dates during the two-week period of cruises completed by the RV Aranda in the Gulf of Finland. This was the first dataset published in both on-prem and in the Cloud at GHRC.
