After observing a great impact of our Lightning "Color by Number" poster at the 2017 AGU Fall Meeting, we're making a PDF file available for download.

The provisional datasets from the Lightning Imaging Sensor on the International Space Station (ISS LIS) are now released at the GHRC DAAC, available online but not yet cataloged and published. These data include standard and near-real-time products containing lightning observations and background imagery.
Beta datasets are now being retired and should no longer be used.

GHRC DAAC staff attended the 2017 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) held New Orleans, 11-15 December 2017. GHRC-related posters and presentations include:

 

 

  • Chaired Sessions

    • IN11D:  Developing  Innovative Tools and Services to Enable Data Use Across Broad User Communities, eLightning session chaired by Leigh Sinclair and Amanda Weigel, Monday morning poster sessions

    • H33A/C: Analysis in Remote Sensing, Novel Data Streams, and Social Media for Natural Hazard Monitoring, Research, and Preparedness I and II, room 245 and Poster Hall D-F

 

 

GHRC published the GPM Ground Validation Precipitation Estimation from Remotely Sensed Information using Artificial Neural Networks Cloud Classification System (PERSIANN-CCS) IFloodS dataset: http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/GPMGV/IFLOODS/PERSIANN/DATA101

This dataset is a subset from the global 30-minute PERSIANN-CCS files generated in near-real time selected for the time period of the GPM Ground Validation Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) field campaign. The main goal of IFloodS were to collect detailed measurements of precipitation at the Earth’s surface using ground instruments and advanced weather radars and to simultaneously collect data from satellites passing overhead. This PERSIANN-CCS data product is available in ASCII and netCDF-4 formats from April 1, 2013 thru July 1, 2013.

 

GHRC DAAC has published the GPM Ground Validation Southern Appalachian Rain Gauge IPHEx dataset:

http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/GPMGV/IPHEX/GAUGES/DATA301

The GPM Ground Validation Southern Appalachian Rain Gauge IPHEx dataset contains measurements from 45 rain gauges in the region of the Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) field campaign. The main goal of IPHEx was to characterize warm season orographic precipitation regimes and hydrologic processes in complex terrain regions, and to contribute to the development, evaluation, and improvement of remote sensing precipitation algorithms in support of the Global Precipitation Meamsurement mission. These Souther Appalachian data are available in ASCII-csv format and cover a time period greater than that of the IPHEx campaign, from January 3, 2008 thru December 31, 2014. Data collection began in 2008 due to the entire network being funded by the NASA Precipitation Measurement Missions (PMM) to make these observations of orographic precipitation in preparation for the IPHEx field campaign.  The data were delivered to GHRC recently by researchers at Duke University.
