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). ER-2... 05/14/2019 - 10:17
The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission ground validation Light Precipitation Validation Experiment (LPVEx) radiosonde data set. The Vaisala radiosondes were used to produce vertical profiles of atmospheric temperature, pressure, humidity, and winds. The radiosondes were launched from two locations: Kumpula and Vantaa, Finland. The LPVEx field campaign took place around the Gulf of Finland in September and October, 2010. However, the Vantaa launch site record extends through January 2011. The campaign was to provide additional... 05/13/2019 - 16:26
The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the GOES-R Post Launch Test (PLT) Cloud Radar System (CRS) dataset. The CRS provides high-resolution profiles of reflectivity and Doppler velocity at aircraft nadir along the flight track. The CRS was flown aboard a NASA ER-2 high-altitude aircraft during the GOES-R Post Launch Test (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... 05/02/2019 - 09:25
