GHRCDAAC published the GRIP Hurricane Imaging Radiometer (HIRAD) V1 dataset. This dataset contains brightness temperatures at 5 GHz and is an update to the earlier Version 0 GRIP HIRAD dataset. The data were collected during the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) experiment in 2010 for Hurricanes EARL and KARL. HIRAD is a hurricane imaging, single-pol passive C-band radiometer with both cross-track and along-track resolution that measures strong ocean surface winds through heavy rain from an aircraft or space-based platform. Its swath width is approximately 60 degrees in either direction.
