GHRC has published the GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Web Camera Images GCPEx dataset.

GHRC has published the GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Visibility Sensor FD12P and Present Weather Detector GCPEx dataset.  These data were collected data January 15 through March 1, 2012 in Huronia, Canada for the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx). The FD12P weather sensor combines the functions of a forward scatter visibility meter and a present weather detector. It also measures the intensity and the amount of both liquid and solid precipitation.

Helen Conover and Sherry Harrison represented the GHRC at the AMSR Science Team meeting in Oxnard, CA, September 4-5. The AMSR Science Investigator-led Processing System (SIPS) is co-located with and managed by the GHRC. Ms Conover presented SIPS status and plans, including AMSR-E reprocessing, full resolution browse imagery for the ESDIS Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS), and AMSR2 processing plans.

GHRC has published the GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Precipitation Occurrence Sensor System (POSS) GCPExdataset. Data was gathered during the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment which took place in Ontario, Canada, January 15 - March 1, 2012. The POSS is a bi-static X-band Doppler radar designed by Environment Canada.

The NASA Earth Venture 1 mission Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) is ramping up for the 2013 hurricane season. Investigators are using two unmanned Global Hawk aircraft to monitor Atlantic tropical storms. The data collected by HS3 will be archived at and distributed by GHRC.

GHRC published the GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Vaisala Ceilometer GCPEx dataset.  Environment Canada (EC) collected ceilometer data 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 3 cloud layers simultaneously.

GHRC published the GPM Ground Validation Pluvio Precipitation Gauge GCPEx  and GPM Ground Validation DC-8 Navigation and Housekeeping Data GCPEX guides from the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx). The Pluvio rain gauge dataset collection contains both one minute measurement and a cumulative record of the accumulation and intensity for liquid, solid, and mixed precipitation.
