Two GCPEx dataset guide documents published

GHRC published two GPM Ground Validation guides for its GCPEx campaign datasets:  the GPM Ground Validation Dual Polarized C-Band Doppler Radar King City GCPEx  and the GPM Ground Validation Advanced Microwave Radiometer Rain Identification (ADMIRARI) GCPEx.    The GPM  Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx) took place in Ontario, Canada from  January  through March 2012.  The Dual Polarized C-Band Doppler Radar King City dataset has special RHI and sector scans of several dual polarization parameters created by the C-Band radar. Additionally, specially configured CARE-centric composites were also generated. Standard WKR IRIS volume and PPI scans, along with corresponding standard PPI imagery, are also included. The Advanced Microwave Radiometer Rain Identification (ADMIRARI)   dataset measures brightness temperatures at three frequencies (10.7, 21.0 and 36.5 GHz) and at two polarized planes (H & V). The ADMIRARI is a scanning radiometer like its auxiliary active instruments, i.e., Micro rain radar and cloud lidar which provide reflectivity profiles and cloud base altitude at the same scanning angle as the radiometer. The radiometer retrieval typically provides rain/cloud liquid water path (LWP) and integrated water vapor, and for low water content cases it provides the total LWP and integrated water vapor.
