GHRC published six GPM Ground Validation NEXRAD MC3E radar datasets. These data were collected from April 22, 2011 to June 6, 2011 for the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) which took place in central Oklahoma. Radar sites include KGLD, KICT, KINX, KTLX, KTWX, KVNX. The Next Generation Weather Radar system (NEXRAD) comprises 159 Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) sites throughout the United States and select overseas locations. The GPM Ground Validation NEXRAD MC3E data files are available as tarred binary files.

GHRC has published the Regional Air Sea Interactions (RASI) web site http://ghrc.nsstc.nasa.gov/rasi/, an interactive tool for investigating coastal mountain gap wind events and resulting sea surface temperature changes due to ocean upwelling.

Ken Keiser presented research performed by GHRC and Remote Sensing Systems for the DISCOVER (Distributed Information Services for Climate and Ocean Products and Visualizations for Earth Research) project, funded by the NASA/MEaSUREs program, at the Oceans 2014 MTS/IEEE Conference held in St Johns, Newfoundland, September 14-19, 2014. His presentation described the development of algorithms and processes that are able to automatically identify and catalog coastal mountain gap wind and associated coastal ocean upwelling events.

Helen Conover, Amy Lin, Kathryn Regner and Sherry Harrison attended the AMSR Science Team meeting September 23-24, 2014 in Huntsville, AL, representIng the AMSR SIPS at GHRC. Helen made two presentations: one on SIPS status including AMSR-E reprocessing and preparations for generating AMSR2 standard products, the other on LANCE AMSR2 implementation activities.

Kathryn Regner and Sherry Harrison represented the AMSR SIPS at GHRC, via WebEx, at the LANCE User Working Group on September 23. Kathryn presented the status of the current LANCE implementation activity for AMSR2 data products.

The Global Hydrology Resource Center DAAC hosted its first User Working Group meeting September 25 - 26, 2014 in Huntsville, Alabama. Key scientists from GHRC’s major discipline areas - the hydrologic cycle, severe weather interactions, lightning, and atmospheric convection – were invited to represent GHRC’s user community.Members of the GHRC gave presentations on DAAC data holdings, operations, and services.

Sherry Harrison represented the GHRC DAAC at the annual DAAC User Services Working Group (USWG) Technical Interchange Meeting in Fairbanks, AK, September 9-11, 2014. The annual meeting was hosted by the Alaska Satellite Facility. Sherry presented on the major accomplishments and activities of the GHRC DAAC over the last year.

GHRC has published the GPM Ground Validation Dual-frequency Dual-polarized Dopper Radar (D3R) guide for two missions: Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) and the GPM Cold Season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx). 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 Doppler velocity, radar reflectivity, and spectrum width are provided in the data in the netCDF format.

GHRC has published the guide for the GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada Snow Depth Surveys GCPEx dataset including dataset specific citation and DOI. The dataset was manually collected during the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx) which occurred in Ontario, Canada, January 20, 2012 through February 27, 2012 across four sites (CARE, Steamshow, Huronia Airport, and Skydive-Jump).

GHRC continues to support the ongoing Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) mission by ingesting and providing requested ancillary data products to the science team. The URL used is published only to the HS3 team at this time.
