The Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx), fifth in a series of Global Precipitation Mission Ground Validation (GPM GV) campaigns, begins on May 1, 2014. GHRC developed and is maintaining the IPHEX Portal. This collaboration site enables science teams to upload a variety of planning materials, including daily forecast presentations, plan of the day reports, mission scientist and instrument reports.

GHRC Engineer Kathryn Regner and software developer Dr. Amy Lin, both of UAH, attended the Critical Design Review for the Lightning Imaging Sensor (LIS) instrument on International Space Station (ISS) on April 15, 2014. Ms. Regner presented charts showing the planned hardware architecture and data flow. NASA and UAH developed the space-based lightning observatory as a remote sensing tool under the Earth Observing System (EOS) program for the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM).

Dr. Sara J. Graves, PI of the GHRC’s UAH team, was elected to the GCOOS Regional Association Board of Directors, as an Education and Outreach representative.

The Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) updated the GPM Ground Validation Two-Dimensional Video Disdrometer (2DVD) NSSTC dataset. Previously this data was only available for the partial year 2010. The dataset now has been extended to include parts of years 2009 and 2011, as well as additional dates for the existing year 2010.

NASA’s Global Imagery Browse Service (GIBS) is now able to serve up the entire history of the AMSR-E Brightness Temperature 89 GHZ product, provided by AMSR-E SIPS at the GHRC. The imagery in GIBS is in the production environment open to all end users, and is available through Worldview.

GHRC is continuing to submit DOI requests to ESDIS for its datasets.
