Two guide documents for GCPEx published

GCPEx

GHRC published two guides from the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx). The GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Vaisala Ceilometer GCPEx data were collected 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. The GPM Ground Validation Environment Canada (EC) Radiometer GCPEx dataset contains retrievals of temperature, water vapor, relative humidity, liquid water profiles and surface parameters acquired by a passive microwave radiometer. Its data were collected in Ontario, Canada February 2012 through March 1, 2012. Data plots are available in the browse files.
