GHRC has published the GPM Ground Validation NOAA UHF 449 Profiler Raw Data SPC dataset. Using a phased array antenna configured to only point in the vertical direction, during MC3E the 449 MHz profiler measured the vertical air motion from approximately 200 to 2000 meters above the ground when precipitation passed over the profiler site. The original SPC format requires specialized commercial read software. The companion GPM Ground Validation NOAA UHF 449 Profiler MC3E dataset, a netCDF version, contains the exact same raw data values. Additionally this dataset has been recently updated to include processed data and available browse.
