GPM Ground Validation NASA S-Band Dual Polarimetric (NPOL) Doppler Radar MC3E
Entry ID:
gpmnpolmc3e
Summary
Abstract:
The NASA NPOL radar, developed by a research team from Wallops Flight Facility, is a fully transportable and self-contained S-band (10 cm), scanning dual-polarimetric, doppler research radar that collected and operated nearly continuously during MC3E. NPOL scanned in high resolution RHI mode and provided measurements of precipitation in liquid, mixed and ice phase. The scanning strategy emphasized vertical structure sampling via RHI and narrow sector-volume data collections. Data was collected from 11 April 2011 through 03 June 2011.
