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...

The Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) has published the Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) Global Hawk Navigation dataset (DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/HS3/NAV/DATA201). This dataset consists of the real-time navigation and housekeeping data that was acquired from various instruments aboard the Global Hawk including the navigation system and the Global Hawk flight computer. The data are in the Interagency Working Group standard format number 1 (IWG1), a simple ASCII comma-separated value (CSV) format supported by all NASA and...

The GHRC DAAC staff released the GPM Ground Validation GCPEX Snow Microphysics Case Study, a curated “virtual collection” dataset (DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/GCPEXCS/MULTIPLE/DATA101). This dataset represents a “golden case” from the GPM Ground Validation field campaigns — it comprises observations of a specific weather event from several different ground-based and airborne instruments. The data in this case study collection characterize the 3-D microphysical evolution and...

The GHRC DAAC staff has published the GPM Ground Validation High-Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (HIWRAP) IPHEx dataset (DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/GPMGV/IPHEX/HIWRAP/DATA101). This data was collected by the HIWRAP instrument on the NASA ER-2 aircraft between May 3, 2014 and June 15, 2014 during the GPM Ground Validation Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) field campaign, which was held in the Appalachian region of North Carolina....

The GHRC DAAC published the GPM Ground Validation Dual-frequency Dual-polarized Doppler Radar (D3R) IPHEX dataset (DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/GPMGV/IPHEX/D3R/DATA101). This data was collected from May 3, 2014 to June 15, 2014 during the GPM Ground Validation Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) held in North Carolina. The D3R is a fully polarimetric, scanning weather radar system operating at the nominal frequencies of 13.91 GHz and 35.56 GHz covering a maximum range of 30 km. The GPM Ground Validation Dual-frequency Dual-polarized Doppler Radar (D3R) IPHEx dataset is available in netCDF format.
