GHRC DAAC publishes OLYMPEX D3R dataset

OLYMPEX logoGHRC DAAC has published the Dual-frequency Dual-polarized Doppler Radar (D3R) OLYMPEX (http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/GPMGV/OLYMPEX/D3R/DATA101) dataset. 
The OLYMPEX D3R dataset contains radar reflectivity and doppler velocity measurements. The D3R was developed by a government-industry-academic consortium with funding from NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Project and was used in several ground validation projects. D3R is a ground-based radar that operates at the Ku band (13.91 GHz ± 25 MHz) and Ka band (35.56 GHz ± 25 MHz) frequencies. For OLYMPEX, the D3R was collocated with the NPOL radar at a coastal Washington state location on the Olympic Peninsula. Due to blockage caused by NPOL, the measurement sector is limited to a 220 deg to 120 deg sector. The data is available in netCDF format.
