GHRC DAAC completes generation of BEDI full res imagery

The Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) has reached another Big Earth Data Initiative (BEDI) milestone. GHRC staff have completed generation of full resolution imagery associated with designated BEDI datasets. GHRC will continue to coordinate with NASA’s Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS) and Worldview teams to make sure the images are properly ingested and cataloged in GIBS for display in Worldview.

GHRC DAAC provides initial LANCE AMSR2 software and documentation to ESDIS Cumulus

The Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) provided an initial set of software and documentation used by the AMSR2 element of the Land Atmosphere Near real time Capability for EOS (LANCE) to the ESDIS Cumulus (Cloud-based data ingest, archive, distribution and management system) prototype. This initial delivery includes scripts that drive automated product generation. Science product generation algorithms will be delivered later this week. The Cumulus team will use the LANCE AMSR2 software to model Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) and LANCE product generation.

Three new GPM-GV datasets available

The Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) has published three Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) Ground Validation datasets:

 
The IFloodS Rain Gauge data product was collected by Met One rain gauges during the Ground Validation Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) Field Experiment held April 2013 through December 2013.  The MC3E Rain Gauge data product was collected by both Met One, Inc. and Campbell Scientific Corporation instruments during the Ground Validation Mid-latitude Continental Convective Cloud Experiment (MC3E) held April 2011 through June 2011.  Both projects used two tipping bucket rain gauges at each station and have two types of files – the recorded rainfall value (mm) and a cubic-spline interpolated rain rate (mm/hr).  The GPM Ground Validation Campaign Reports IPHEx dataset provides various reports from the Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) which took place from May 1 to June 15, 2014 in the southern Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. Reports included in this dataset are for the Mission Scientist, Instrument Scientists, and Weather Forecasts. Many reports have additional information included as attachments.
 
      
GHRC DAAC staff contribute to 2016 ESIP Summer Meeting
 
Several staff from the Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) attended the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) Summer Meeting held July 19-22 in Durham, North Carolina. All benefited from informative sessions and productive face-to-face meetings with colleagues. Highlights include:
 
  • Amanda Weigel, GHRC science research associate and ESIP Raskin Scholar, presented her research on tornadoes in the plenary session.
  • Ajinkya Kulkarni, lead web developer for GHRC, led a session on Drupal 8.
  • Manil Maskey, GHRC system architect, presented his work in "Automated analysis workflows for Earth science events using parameter level relevancy" at the Deep Data session.
  • DAAC operations manager Helen Conover represented GHRC at the Council of Data Facilities (CDF) annual meeting held in conjunction with ESIP.
  • Conover and science research associate Kaylin Bugbee presented a poster and an interactive demonstration at the Research as Art session.
 
IPHEx Met One Rain Gauge Pairs V2 dataset now available at GHRC DAAC

IPHEX logo

The Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) has published the GPM Ground Validation Met One Rain Gauge Pairs IPHEx V2 dataset from the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Ground Validation campaign. Data were collected by tipping bucket rain gauges for an extended time period from October 2013 through October 2014, which included the Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment. Precipitation was collected to a resolution of 0.254 mm of liquid water for each bucket tip. These gauges measure rainfall over a 1 second interval. This data set has two types of files, the 1-second rainfall data and a 1-minute cubic-spline averaged rain rate.
