The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the GOES-R Post Launch Test (PLT) Scanning High-Resolution Interferometer Sounder (S-HIS) data set. This data set consists of emitted thermal radiances measured by the S-HIS instrument flown aboard a NASA ER-2 high-altitude aircraft during the GOES-R PLT field campaign. The campaign took place from March to May 2017 in support of post-launch L1b and L2+ product validation of the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM). Data files in netCDF-3 format are available for March 21, 2017 through May 17, 2017.

The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the GPM Ground Validation Two-Dimensional Video Disdrometer (2DVD) Wallops Flight Facility (WFF) version 2 dataset. These data were collected during the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) Ground Validation (GV) campaign at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility in Wallops Island, Virginia. This dataset consists of the size, equivalent diameter, fall speed, oblateness, cross-sectional area of raindrops, particle concentration, total number of drops, total drop concentration, liquid water content, rain rate, reflectivity, and rain event characteristics. The data are in ASCII format and available from July 24, 2013 through October 5, 2015. 
The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the GOES-R Post Launch Test (PLT) Fly’s Eye GLM Simulator (FEGS) dataset. This dataset consists of lightning flash, lightning pulse, and radiance data collected by the FEGS flown aboard a NASA ER-2 high-altitude aircraft during the GOES-R Post Launch Test (PLT) airborne science field campaign. The GOES-R PLT airborne science field campaign took place between March 21 and May 17, 2017 in support of the post-launch product validation of the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) and the Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM). The FEGS instrument was specifically used in support of verification and validation of the GLM instrument. These data files are available in ASCII format with browse imagery available in PNG format.
The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published a fourth field campaign Micro Article, this one for the GOES-R Post Launch Test (PLT) field campaign. The Micro Article summarizes the background of the purpose of the field campaign, namely providing calibration and validation information for the new Advanced Baseline Imager and Geostationary Lightning Mapper instruments. This also lists notable dates for data collection, the various phenomena that were being investigated, and the currently published data sets. This will receive updates as new data sets are published by GHRC. The new GOES-R PLT Micro Article is available at 
The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the GPM Ground Validation Validation Network (VN) dataset. This dataset contains reflectivity, hydrometeor identification, rain rate, correlation coefficient, and quality control variables and estimates. This data product was created using the Validation Network (VN), which performs a direct match-up of the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM)’s space-based Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) and Microwave Imager (GMI) data with ground radar data from NOAA Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) radars. These data are available from March 11, 2014 through November 26, 2018 in netCDF-3 format, though it should be noted that this dataset will be updated periodically.
