GHRC has completed several dataset guides related to a number of GPM Ground Validation and Hurricane Science field campaigns. The GPM Ground Validation Earth Networks Total Lightning Network (ENTLN) MC3E guide details information about the integrated in-cloud (IC) and cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning detection network data, which was measured during the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E), Spring 2011.  Other dataset guides now available include the GPM Ground Validation NCAR Cloud Microphysics Particle Probes for MC3E and GCPEX (GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment), which provides information about particle size distributions and particle images collected by the 2D-C, Cloud Imaging Probe (CIP) and High Volume Precipitation Spectrometer (HVPS-3) instruments; and the GPM Ground Validation NEXRAD MC3E datasets (sites : KGLD, KICT, KINX, KTLX, KTWX and KVNX).  GHRC also published the guide for the GPM Ground Validation NASA S-Band Dual Polarimetric (NPOL) Doppler Radar IFloodS dataset. The Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) took place April through June 2013 near Traer, Iowa.  The MIPS Microwave Profiling Radiometer guide documents measurements from the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Mobile Integrated Profiling System (MIPS).   Providing temperature, water vapor, liquid water and cloud base temperature measurements, instruments gathering this data include a 915 MHz Doppler profiler, LIDAR ceilometer, 12 channel microwave profiling radiometer, Doppler SODAR, Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS), Field Mills, and surface observing station.
