GHRC has updated the GPM Ground Validation Met One Rain Gauge Pairs IFloodS dataset, which now has a more extended set of gauge files and also now includes “gmin” files that are interpolated to provide a one-minute rain rate. These data were collected from twenty-five tipping bucket rain gauge pairs deployed during the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Ground Validation (GV) Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) mission occurring in Iowa during April-June 2013. Along with the disdrometers these rain gauges provided an additional means for directly measuring rainfall during the campaign. The Model 380 Precipitation Gauge, which is manufactured by MetOne Instruments, Inc., was used. The Model 380 gauges have a 30.5 cm diameter catchment funnel and a resolution of 0.2 mm of liquid water for each tip. The dataset guide is also now available.
