GHRC has completed publication of two GCPEX (Global precipitation mission Cold-season Precipitation EXperiment) datasets, GPM Ground Validation Autonomous Parsivel Unit (APU) GCPEx and GPM Ground Validation Pluvio Precipitation Gauge GCPEx.  The  GPM Ground Validation Autonomous Parsivel Unit (APU) GCPEx dataset collects data by an optical disdrometer based on single particl

GHRC has published the GPM Ground Validation Pluvio Precipitation Gauge GCPEx.  The Pluvio rain gauge dataset contains both one minute measurement and a  cumulative record of the accumulation and intensity for liquid,  solid, and mixed precipitation collected during the  GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx).   GCPEx  took place in Ontario, Canada  during the Winter season December 2011- February 2012 where  data was collected at five  sites:

A new THREDDS data server, to supplement the OPeNDAP data server already in place, provides improved usability such as OGC-compliant web map services (WMS) to support interactive visualization requests, and a THREDDS catalog to help provide interoperability with other community tools and applications. Using THREDDS, WMS is able to produce an image for a specific time request into an aggregated dataset, i.e., treating a dataset as a single continuous entity without having to reference individual daily files.

GHRC has published another GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx) dataset: GPM Ground Validation NASA Micro Rain Radar (MRR) GCPEx. This second generation MRR is a vertically pointing Doppler radar providing measurements of vertical velocity, drop size distribution, rainfall rate, attenuation, liquid water content, and reflectivity factor. The NASA MRR data was collected in Canada from late October 2011 through March 2013.

NASA will host a Google+ Hangout from several NASA centers at 2 p.m. EDT Tuesday, July 23 as the agency prepares to fly two unmanned aircraft over Atlantic Ocean hurricanes this summer. For more information and to attend the Hangout, please go to http://www.nasa.gov/press/2013/july/nasa-to-host-google-hangout-on-hurri.... Data from the HS3 project will be available from GHRC starting next year.
