The Global Hydrology Resource Center Distributed Active Archive Center (GHRC DAAC) has published three Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) Ground Validation datasets:
- GPM Ground Validation Rain Gauge Pairs MC3E V2 (DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/GPMGV/MC3E/GAUGE/DATA202)
- GPM Ground Validation Met One Rain Gauge Pairs IFloodS V2 (DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/GPMGV/IFLOODS/GAUGE/DATA202)
- GPM Ground Validation Campaign Reports IPHEx (DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5067/GPMGV/IPHEX/REPORTS/DATA101)
The IFloodS Rain Gauge data product was collected by Met One rain gauges during the Ground Validation Iowa Flood Studies (IFloodS) Field Experiment held April 2013 through December 2013. The MC3E Rain Gauge data product was collected by both Met One, Inc. and Campbell Scientific Corporation instruments during the Ground Validation Mid-latitude Continental Convective Cloud Experiment (MC3E) held April 2011 through June 2011. Both projects used two tipping bucket rain gauges at each station and have two types of files – the recorded rainfall value (mm) and a cubic-spline interpolated rain rate (mm/hr). The GPM Ground Validation Campaign Reports IPHEx dataset provides various reports from the Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) which took place from May 1 to June 15, 2014 in the southern Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. Reports included in this dataset are for the Mission Scientist, Instrument Scientists, and Weather Forecasts. Many reports have additional information included as attachments.
