GHRC published the guide document for the GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Vaisala Ceilometer GCPEx dataset. The ceilometer data was collected during the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx) in Huronia, Canada from January 15, 2012 through March 1, 2012. The CT25K ceilometer uses pulsed diode laser LIDAR technology to derive backscatter profiles, cloud heights and vertical visibilities. It is also able to detect three cloud layers simultaneously.

The guide for two Sediment Analysis Network for Decision Support (SANDS) Landsat datasets was published. These datasets include the Sediment Analysis Network for Decision Support (SANDS) Landsat Geological Survey of AL (GSA) Analysis and the inputs for this dataset 
Sediment Analysis Network for Decision Support (SANDS) Landsat Geotiff.

GHRC published the GPM Ground Validation Total Precipitation Sensor (HotPlate) GCPEx dataset which provides a measure of the liquid precipitation rate and accumulation for snow. Additional data includes measurements of temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, pressure, solar and infrared radiation flux.

ITSC student Prabhash Jha with a team of six other programmers from The University of Alabama in Huntsville won the local competition at the America's Datafest challenge in Auburn, Alabama. The team built a suite of medical translation products, referred to collectively as Health24.

GHRC published the guide for the GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Passive Microwave Radiometer and Soil Moisture-Temperature Data GCPEx dataset.

GHRC published the GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Precipitation Occurrence Sensor System (POSS) GCPEx guide. The POSS is a bi-static X-band Doppler radar designed by Environment Canada which measures a signal whose frequency is proportional to the particle Doppler velocity and whose amplitude is proportional to the particle scattering cross-section.
