The NASA Global Hydrology Resource Center (GHRC) DAAC published the GPM Ground Validation Doppler on Wheels (DOW) OLYMPEX V2 dataset. This dataset was obtained by a dual-polarization and dual-frequency X-band mobile radar operated by the Center for Severe Weather Research (CSWR) during the Olympic Mountain Experiment (OLYMPEX) campaign. The DOW was deployed in the Chehalis Valley for the OLYMPEX field campaign with the goal of obtaining radar reflectivity and Doppler velocity observations in order to better understand the orographic enhancement of precipitation during frontal passages over mountain ranges. The DOW radar uses two 250 kW transmitters with a measurement range of roughly 60 km. These data are available in CFradial netCDF-4 format from November 6, 2015 through January 15, 2016. It should be noted that this new version of DOW OLYMPEX data was created due to a discrepancy between DOW and the NASA S-Band Dual Polarimetric Doppler radar (NPOL), which was also used in the OLYMPEX field campaign. A new and more appropriate calibration method was determined and the data were reprocessed.
