GHRC published two similar datasets associated with the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Ground Validation program: GPM Ground Validation Composite Satellite Overpasses MC3E and GPM Ground Validation Composite Satellite Overpasses GCPEX.

Drs. Sara Graves and Rahul Ramachandran represented the Global Hydrology Resource Center at the NSF EarthCube End-User Principal Investigator Workshop. This workshop brought together the PIs of the EarthCube end-user domain workshops along with a small number of cyberinfrastructure specialists and social scientists. A key focus of the meeting was user needs in data discovery, mining and access.

The Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC was featured at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) Week Of Welcome (WOW). Week of Welcome is a campus-wide set of programs and activities intended to welcome new and returning students back to campus. The event on August 19 highlighted student research opportunities at the university. UAH’s Information Technology and Systems Center (ITSC) booth showcased several projects, including GHRC's research collaboration with Remote Sensing Systems leading to develop a mountain gap winds climatology, funded by NASA's MEaSUREs program.

Ken Keiser represented the GHRC at the GeoHuntsville's annual Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) meeting on Wednesday, August 14. The meeting highlights the use of geospatial data for decision making and intelligence community analysis activities. The GeoHuntsville organization supports several geospatial data activities addressing state, regional and local needs and interests.

The GPM Ground Validation NASA S-Band Dual Polarimetric (NPOL) Doppler Radar MC3E dataset (previously published) has added files classifying hydrometeors (e.g. rain, drizzle, hail, ice crystals, wet or dry snow, graupel density) to the existing UF files measuring Doppler velocity and radar reflectivity. The new files, named HID, were created by processing UF files with the Colorado State University (CSU) Hydrometeor Identification Algorithm (HID).

GHRC published four guides for instruments participating in GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx): GPM Ground Validation Airborne Second Generation Precipitation Radar (APR-2) GCPEx,GPM Ground Validation Conical Scanning Millimeter-wave Imaging Radiometer (CoSMIR) GCPEx, GPM Ground Validation UND Citation Navigation Data GCPEX and

Dr. Udaysankar Nair of the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) recently took results from his research involving monitoring and prediction of landslides on the road to India, explaining the possible application of the technology to high-risk regions in that country. Dr.
