      and J. Tamminen.
      
      The OMUVBG is a special Level-2 Global Gridded type data Product (referred as Level 2G or L2G) where Level-2 or swath pixel data are binned (but not averaged)into 0.25x0.25 degree global grids. It contains the data for all L2 scenes that have observation time between UTC times of 00:00:00 and 23:59:59.9999. All ancillary parameters such as Lat, Long, time, solar and viewing angles are also saved for each pixel. First two dimensions of each parameter correspond to spatial (Lat/Lon based) Grid ID and third dimension idenifies the pixel or observed scene (referred as 'candidates' ID). Scientist can apply data filtering scheme of their choice, average good quality pixels data in each grid and create their Level-3 products. The GES DISC developed interactive tool Giovanni(http://giovanni.gsfc.nasa.gov/) provides web based capabilities to browse and explore these data.
      
      OMUVBG files are available in EOS Hierarchical Data Format(HDF5-EOS). Each file contains daily data from the day lit portion of the globe. The maximum file size for the OMUVBG data product is about 128 MBytes. Parameter and spatial subsetting is available during the data download from the GES DISC data access system (http://mirador.gsfc.nasa.gov).

The version 8 SBUV Nimbus-7 ozone data were first released at the 2004 Quadrennial Ozone Symposium on DVD. The DVD contained all of the SBUV/2 data from NOAA-9, NOAA-11 and NOAA-16 satellites as well as SBUV data from the Nimbus-7 satellite. The DVD is no longer available, however all the data are available on-line from the NASA GES DISC. The Nimbus-7 SBUV v8 data are available from 1978-10-31 to 1990-06-21. The instrument spatial resolution is 180 km x 180 km footprint at nadir. The ozone profiles are made at 21 pressure levels between 1000 and 0.1 hPa. Each data file contains a days worth of ozone measurements, and is written in an ASCII text format.

The SBUV measures incoming solar irradiance and radiance backscattered by the atmosphere at 12 wavelengths in the UV range [0.25-0.34 micrometer] with a spectral band pass of 0.001 micrometer. The wavelength channels used for ozone retrievals for SBUV were: 256, 273, 283, 288, 292, 298, 302, 306, 312, 318, 331, and 340 nm. Radiation at these wavelengths are absorbed by ozone, such that the difference between the incoming and outgoing radiation can be related to the amount of ozone in the atmosphere.The SBUV consists of a double Ebert-Fastie spectrometer and a filter photometer similar to the BUV on Nimbus 4. The bandwidth of the photometer is about 3 nm and the spectral resolution for SBUV monochromator is 1.1 nm.From these data, the following atmospheric properties can be deduced:
* The global and vertical distribution of stratospheric ozone.
* The structure and dynamics of stratospheric ozone.
* Photochemical processes and the influence of "trace" constituents on the ozone layer.
* Long-term solar activity in the Ultraviolet spectrum.

The DVD is no longer available, however all the data are available on-line from the NASA GES DISC. The NOAA-9 SBUV/2 v8 data are available in two time periods from 1985-02-02 to 1989-12-31 (ascending orbits) and again from 1992-01-01 to 1998-02-19 (descending orbits) due to the drift of the NOAA-9 satellite. The instrument spatial resolution is 180 km x 180 km footprint at nadir. The ozone profiles are made at 21 pressure levels between 1000 and 0.1 hPa. Each data file contains a days worth of ozone measurements, and is written in an ASCII text format.

The SBUV/2 is a scanning double monochromator and a cloud cover radiometer (CCR) designed to measure ultraviolet (UV) spectral intensities. In its primary mode of operation, the monochromator measures solar radiation backscattered by the atmosphere in 12 discrete wavelength bands in the near-UV, ranging from 252.0 to 339.8 nanometers, each with a bandpass of 1.1 nm. The total-ozone algorithm uses the four longest wavelength bands (312.5, 317.5, 331.2 and 339.8 nm), whereas the profiling algorithm uses the shorter wavelengths. The cloud cover radiometer operates at 379 nm (i.e., outside the ozone absorption band) with a 3.0 nm bandpass and was designed to measure the reflectivity of the surface in the IFOV. The SBUV/2 also makes periodic measurements of the solar flux by deploying a diffuser plate into the FOV to reflect sunlight into the measurement.From these data, the following atmospheric properties can be deduced:
* The global and vertical distribution of stratospheric ozone.
* The structure and dynamics of stratospheric ozone.
* Photochemical processes and the influence of "trace" constituents on the ozone layer.
* Long-term solar activity in the Ultraviolet spectrum.

Each data file contains a days worth of ozone measurements, and is written in an ASCII text format.

The SBUV/2 is a scanning double monochromator and a cloud cover radiometer (CCR) designed to measure ultraviolet (UV) spectral intensities. In its primary mode of operation, the monochromator measures solar radiation backscattered by the atmosphere in 12 discrete wavelength bands in the near-UV, ranging from 252.0 to 339.8 nanometers, each with a bandpass of 1.1 nm. The total-ozone algorithm uses the four longest wavelength bands (312.5, 317.5, 331.2 and 339.8 nm), whereas the profiling algorithm uses the shorter wavelengths. The cloud cover radiometer operates at 379 nm (i.e., outside the ozone absorption band) with a 3.0 nm bandpass and was designed to measure the reflectivity of the surface in the IFOV. The SBUV/2 also makes periodic measurements of the solar flux by deploying a diffuser plate into the FOV to reflect sunlight into the measurement.From these data, the following atmospheric properties can be deduced:
* The global and vertical distribution of stratospheric ozone.
* The structure and dynamics of stratospheric ozone.
* Photochemical processes and the influence of "trace" constituents on the ozone layer.
* Long-term solar activity in the Ultraviolet spectrum.

One of the key components of NASAs Earth Science Research Strategy to better understand the complex nature of Earths climate is the determination of the global radiation balance. Comprehensive regional-to-global climate models (R/GCM) are playing an ever-greater role in addressing this issue. Because of their important role in modifying the radiative energy balance, the characteristics of aerosols, especially near their sources and sinks, are essential parameters to the R/GCMs. Many EOS era instruments (e.g., SeaWiFS, MODIS, MISR, etc.) are designed to provide such information with a high degree of fidelity.

One of the key components of NASAs Earth Science Research Strategy to better understand the complex nature of Earths climate is the determination of the global radiation balance. Comprehensive regional-to-global climate models (R/GCM) are playing an ever-greater role in addressing this issue. Because of their important role in modifying the radiative energy balance, the characteristics of aerosols, especially near their sources and sinks, are essential parameters to the R/GCMs. Many EOS era instruments (e.g., SeaWiFS, MODIS, MISR, etc.) are designed to provide such information with a high degree of fidelity.

The Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) Calibration Transfer Experiment (TCTE) data set TCTE3TSI6 contains 6-hour averaged total solar irradiance (a.k.a solar constant) data collected by the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM) instrument covering the full wavelength spectrum. The data are normalized to one astronomical unit (1 AU).

The TCTE/TIM instrument measures the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI), monitoring changes in incident sunlight to the Earth's atmosphere using an ambient temperature active cavity radiometer to a designed absolute accuracy of 350 parts per million (ppm, 1 ppm=0.0001% at 1-sigma), and a precision and long-term relative accuracy of 10 ppm per year. Due to the small size of these data and to maximize ease of use to end-users, each delivered TSI product contains science results for the entire mission in an ASCII column formatted file.

Early in the mission, between Dec 2013 and May 2014, TCTE acquired daily measurements to establish good overlap with the SORCE TIM. From May 2014 to Dec 2014, the TCTE measurements were reduced to weekly, which greatly subsample the true solar variability, and thus have little value for solar research. Beginning in Jan 2015, daily obervations were resumed.

Release Notes:
2015-04-21: Version 2 applies dark and degradation corrections to the data.

2015-01-20: Version 1 is the first public release of TCTE TIM data. The Version 1 estimated absolute accuracies are 0.1% (1000 ppm) and will be improved in future versions as additional corrections are applied.

The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a joint U.S.-Japan satellite mission to monitor tropical and subtropical precipitation and to estimate its associated latent heating. TRMM was successfully launched on November 27, at 4:27 PM (EST) from the Tanegashima Space Center in Japan.

The rainfall measuring instruments on the TRMM satellite include the Precipitation Radar (PR), an electronically scanning radar operating at 13.8 GHz; TRMM Microwave Image (TMI), a nine-channel passive microwave radiometer; and Visible and Infrared Scanner (VIRS), a five-channel visible/infrared radiometer.

The purpose of the 3B42 algorithm is to produce TRMM-adjusted merged-infrared (IR) precipitation and root-mean-square (RMS) precipitation-error estimates.  The algorithm consists of two separate steps. The first step uses the TRMM VIRS and TMI orbit data (TRMM products 1B01 and 2A12) and the monthly TMI/TRMM Combined Instrument (TCI) calibration parameters (from TRMM product 3B31) to produce monthly IR calibration parameters. The second step uses these derived monthly IR calibration parameters to adjust the merged-IR precipitation data, which consists of GMS, GOES-E, GOES-W, Meteosat-7, Meteosat-5, and NOAA-12 data. The final gridded, adjusted merged-IR precipitation (mm/hr) and RMS precipitation-error estimates have a daily temporal resolution and a 0.25-degree by 0.25-degree spatial resolution. Spatial coverage extends from 50 degrees south to 50 degrees north latitude.

The data are stored in the Hierarchical Data Format (HDF), which includes both core and product specific metadata. The file size is about 0.25 MB (compressed).

The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) is a joint U.S.-Japan satellite mission to monitor tropical and subtropical precipitation and to estimate its associated latent heating.

Hydrometeor profiles of cloud liquid water, precipitation water, cloud ice water, precipitation ice, rainfall type, and latent heating are reported in 14 layers, with a vertical resolution of 0.5 km from the surface to 18.0 km. Geolocation, time stamp, data quality, surface type, and surface rain confidence are included for each pixel. Spatial coverage is between 38 degrees North and 38 degrees South, owing to the 35 degree inclination of the TRMM satellite. This orbit provides extensive coverage in the tropics and allows each location to be covered at a different local time each day, enabling the analysis of the diurnal cycle of precipitation. There are, in general, 2991 scans along the orbit, with each scan consisting of 208 high resolution (85 GHz) pixels. The scan width is about 760 km.

The data are stored in the Hierarchical Data Format (HDF), which includes both core and product specific metadata applicable to the TMI measurements. A file contains a single orbit of data with a file size of about 95 MB (uncompressed). The HDF-EOS &quot;swath&quot; structure is used to accommodate the actual geophysical data arrays. There are 16 files of TMI 2A12 data produced per day.

Hydrometeor profiles of cloud liquid water, precipitation water, cloud ice water, precipitation ice, rainfall type, and latent heating are reported in 28 layers, with a vertical resolution of 0.5 km from the surface to 18.0 km. Geolocation, time stamp, data quality, surface type, and surface rain confidence are included for each pixel. Spatial coverage is between 38 degrees North and 38 degrees South, owing to the 35 degree inclination of the TRMM satellite. This orbit provides extensive coverage in the tropics and allows each location to be covered at a different local time each day, enabling the analysis of the diurnal cycle of precipitation. There are, in general, 2991 scans along the orbit, with each scan consisting of 208 high resolution (85 GHz) pixels. The scan width is about 760 km.

The data are stored in the Hierarchical Data Format (HDF), which includes both core and product specific metadata applicable to the TMI measurements. A file contains a single orbit of data with a file size of about 95 MB (uncompressed). The HDF-EOS "swath" structure is used to accommodate the actual geophysical data arrays. There are 16 files of TMI 2A12 data produced per day.

The UARS Correlative assimilation data from the U.K. Meteorological Office (UKMO) consists of daily model runs at 12:00 GMT as a means of providing an independent analysis for comparison with data from the UARS instruments. The UKMO product includes temperature (Kelvin), geopotential height (m), zonal and meridional wind components (m/s), and vertical velocity (Pa/s).

Note: vertical velocity (omega) data are available from 26 August 1992 forward.

The numerical model used in the assimilation system is a global primitive equation model, with a split-explicit time integration scheme.  It incorporates a comprehensive range of physical parameterization schemes.  It uses a hybrid vertical coordinate system, with terrain-following model levels at low levels, gradually changing to pressure levels in the stratosphere.  The input to the assimilation system are from the World Weather Watch network of surface and upper air observations and satellite data.

The UKMO product consists of a single granule per day containing all the geophysical parameters.  Data coverage is global for where the horizontal resolution is 2.5 degrees latitude by 3.75 degrees longitude, using a staggered grid system.  For parameters other than wind components, each horizontal field consists of 73 rows of 96 points, starting at 90N, 0E.  The wind data are staggered by half a grid, starting at 88.75N, 1.875E (with 72 rows).

The UKMO correlative assimilation data are on the UARS standard pressure levels (in mbars) given by:

P(i) =  1000 * 10**(-i/6)  for i = 0, 1, 2, ...

The data files are available in a binary record oriented format.

The Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (ISAMS) Level 3AL data product consists of daily, 4 degree increment latitude-ordered vertical profiles of temperature and concentrations of O3, H2O, CH4, CO, N2O, N2O5, NO2, and aerosol absorption coefficients.  The insrument measured infrared molecular emmissions in the spectral region from 4.6 to 16.6 microns.  ISAMS was flown on NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) and designed to measure the global temperature and composition profiles in the stratosphere and mesosphere. Limb measurements were made in the altitude range between 15 and 60 km at about 2.5 km resolution. Data were collected between latitude 34S and 80N and 80S and 34N, alternating each satellite yaw cycle of about 36 days. The ISAMS Level 3AL data were processed with the version 10 algorithm, except H2O which is version 9.

The ISAMS level 3AL product consists of 10 granules per day. A data granule is one ISAMS species or subtype per day. The following species are measured:


 1) AERO12P1 - aerosol at 12.1 microns  [1/km]
 2) AERO6P23 - aerosol at 6.23 microns  [1/km]
 3) CH4      - methane                  [vmr]

PEM was flown on the UARS spacecraft to measure the type, amount, energy, and distribution of charged particles injected into the Earth's thermosphere, mesosphere, and stratosphere.
                        
The PEM AXIS2 X-ray data cover roughly the energy range from 2 keV to 300 keV.  There are eight AXIS2 pixels mounted in the AXIS2 housing, each viewing different directions.  The AXIS2 pixels are aligned on the spacecraft to project about 45 deg toward the +x axis direction from the Earthward pointing direction (+z axis).  Each pixel of AXIS2 is staggered about the 45 degree direction in an every-other fashion.  Pixel 1 is closest to the center line of the spacecraft and Pixel 8 is furtherest away; however, their ground projection is dependent on the spacecraft orientation.

There is one data file per day for the PEM AXIS2 product, and the temporal coverage is from Oct. 1, 1991 to Aug. 23, 2005. Spatial coverage for the AXIS2 product ranges between -80 and +80 deg latitude.  The AXIS2 data files are written in network binary format.

The Particle Environment Monitor (PEM) level 2 Vector Magnetometer (VMAG) AC daily product contains the Vector Magnetic Field AC component.  PEM was flown on the UARS spacecraft to measure the type, amount, energy, and distribution of charged particles injected into the Earth's thermosphere, mesosphere, and stratosphere.

The VMAG DC magnetic field measurements are limited to frequencies less than 2.5 Hz by an 18 db/octave antialiasing filter.  Higher frequencies are measured with a peak detector and are the Vector Magnetic Field AC component.  The AC value is derived from each vector field component where the sensor output is pass band filtered from 2.5 to 50 Hz.  The resultant signal is then half wave rectified and passed to an RC circuit with a time constant of 4.7 s.  The voltage across the RC circuit is the peak detector output which therefore represents the peak positive amplitude of the 2.5-50 Hz filtered sensor output occurring during the previous 5 seconds; however, the peak detector is determined at a rate of about every second (the VMAG AC data has been adjusted for this time offset).  The X and Z peak detectors have full scale of 1oo nT peak to peak (= 5 Volts) and the Y peak detector has a full scale of 10 nT peak to peak (= 5 Volts).  The analog 0 to 5 Volts peak detector outputs are sent directly to the PEM central electronics package where they are digitized into a 265 binary word.  This is the raw value in the data.  No in-flight calibration of the AC peak detection electronics is provided. The VMAG unit is located on the zenith boom of UARS.

The WINDII level 3AT product consists of 3 granules per day. A data granule is one WINDII species or subtype per day.  The following subtypes are available:

 1) MERWIN_A - meridional wind component on altitude grid  [m/s]
 2) ZONWIN_A - zonal wind component on altitude grid       [m/s]
 3) TEMP - temperature on altitude grid                    [Kelvin]

WINDII data are on the UARS standard altitude levels (in km) given by:

z(i) = 5*i                 for  1 <= i <= 12
z(i) = 60 + (i-12)*3       for 13 <= i <= 32
z(i) = 120 + (i-32)*5      for 33 <= i <= 88

Each of the 3 WINDII granules is accompanied by an additional parameter file, designated as level 3TP.  The parameter file, contains additional ancillary and quality information not found in the 3AT files.  The data files are available in a binary record oriented format.
The Wind Imaging Interferometer (WINDII) Level 3AT data product consists of daily, 65.536 second interval time-ordered vertical profiles of meridional and zonal wind components, and temperature. The instrument was a Michelson interferometer designed to measure Doppler shifts of spectral lines in the visible between 550 and 780 nm.

The ALTUS Cloud Electrification Study (ACES) was Based at the Naval Air Facility Key West in Florida.  ACES researchers in August 2002 conducted overflights of thunderstorms over the southwestern corner of Florida.  For the first time in NASA research an uninhabited aerial vehicle (UAV) named ALTUS was used to collect cloud electrification data.  Carrying field mills, optical sensors, electric field sensors and other instruments, it allowed scientists to collect cloud electrification data for the first time from above the storm from it's birth through dissipation. This experiment allowed scientists to achieve the dual goals of gathering weather data safely, and testing new aircraft technology. This dataset consists of data collected from seven instruments: the Slow/Fast antenna, Electric Field Mill, Dual Optical Pulse Sensor, Searchcoil magnetometer, Accelerometers, Gerdien Conductivity Prove, and the Fluxgate Magnetometer. Data consists of sensor reads at 50HZ throughout the flight from all 64 channels.

MAMS is a multispectral scanner which measures reflected radiation from the Earth's surface and clouds in eight visible/near-infrared bands, and thermal emission from the Earth' surface, clouds, and atmospheric constituents (primarily water vapor) in four infrared bands. The 5.0 mRaperture of MAMS produces an instantaneous field-of-view (IFOV) resolution of 100 m at nadir from the nominal ER-2 altitude of 20 km. The width of the entire cross path field-of-view scanned by the sensor is 37 km, thereby providing detailed resolution of atmospheric and surface features across the swath width and along the aircraft flight track. For clouds and thunderstorm features the IFOV decreases with increasing cloud height by a factor of (Z-20)/20, where Z is the cloud height  in kilometers.

The conductivity probe measures the air conductivity at the aircraft flight altitude. Storm electric currents can be derived using the electric field and air conductivity measurements.
The Microwave Temperature Profiler (MTP) is a passive microwave radiometer which measures the thermal emmission from oxygen molecules in the atmosphere for a selection of elevation angles. Current observing frequencies are 56.6 and 58.8 GHz. Measured brightness temperature versus elevation angle is converted to air temperature versus altitude using a statistical retrieval procedure. An altitude temperature profile is produced every three km along the flight path. Theses data were collected during the CAMEX-4 campaign August 16-September 25, 2002 from Jacksonville Naval Air Station, Florida.

The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) instrument played a key role in the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E).  The AMPR remotely senses passive microwave signatures of geophysical parameters from an airborne platform.  The instrument is a low noise system which can provide multi-frequency microwave imagery with high spatial and temporal resolution.  AMPR data are collected at a combination of four microwave frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1, and 85.5 GHz) with two orientations each (Vpol-to-Hpol and Hpol-to-Vpol) which are complimentary to current aircraft and satellite instrumentation.  These frequencies are best suited to the study of rain systems, but are also useful to studies of other atmospheric, oceanic, and land surface processes.

The GPM Ground Validation Advanced Microwave Radiometer Rain Identification (ADMIRARI) GCPEx dataset measures brightness temperatures at three frequencies (10.7, 21.0 and 36.5 GHz) and at two polarized planes (H & V).  The ADMIRARI is a scanning radiometer like its auxiliary active instruments, i.e., Micro rain radar and cloud lidar which provide reflectivity profiles and cloud base altitude at the same scanning angle as the radiometer.  The radiometer retrieval typically provides rain/cloud liquid water path (LWP) and integrated water vapor, and for low water content cases it provides the total LWP and integrated water vapor.  This data was collected during the GPM Cold-season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEx) located in Ontario, Canada, January 14, 2012 through February 29, 2012.

The Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) took place in central Oklahoma during the April-June 2011 period.  The experiment was a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Ground Validation (GV) program.  The field campaign leveraged the unprecedented observing infrastructure currently available in the central United States, combined with an extensive sounding array, remote sensing and in situ aircraft observations, NASA GPM ground validation remote sensors, and new ARM instrumentation purchased with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding.  The overarching goal was to provide the most complete characterization of convective cloud systems, precipitation, and the environment that has ever been obtained, providing constraints for model cumulus parameterizations and space-based rainfall retrieval algorithms over land that had never before been available.

The CHILL radar data for the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) held in Oklahoma were collected while the NASA ER-2 aircraft conducted a series of four legs along the 090 and 120 degree CHILL azimuths on May 24, 2011.  Dual linear polarization variables as well as Doppler velocity, radial velocity, and normalized coherent power are contained in this dataset.  In an effort to expand the MC3E sampling to a wider geographical area, the NASA ER2 aircraft was directed to Northeastern Colorado while widespread rain was in progress on May 24 2011.  The aircraft flew a series of pre-defined ground tracks that coincided with radials from the CSU-CHILL radar.  This aided in keeping the aircraft in the plane of a series of RHI scans done by CSU-CHILL.  The single polarization CSU-Pawnee radar maintained volume coverage of the echo system while the radial flight legs were in progress.  During aircraft course reversals at the ends of the radial legs, the CHILL and Pawnee radars started volume scans in synchronization to support dual Doppler wind syntheses.  CHILL and Pawnee radar data are available as separate datasets.

The S-band Profiler Original Dwell dataset in the netCDF format was gathered during the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) in Oklahoma April-June 2011.  The S-band profiler operates at 2.8 GHz, points vertically, and measures the backscattered power from raindrops and ice particles as precipitating cloud systems pass overhead.  The S-band operated in two modes: precipitation mode and attenuated mode.  The precipitation mode was the normal or full-power mode, and the attenuated mode was the low-power mode.  The profiler alternated between modes collecting either 7 or 9 consecutive precipitation mode profiles separated by 1 attenuated mode profile.  Both modes processed radar pulses collected during a 7-second dwell before calculating the Doppler velocity spectra at each radar range gate that were separated by 60-meters in the vertical.  The attenuated and precipitation mode data are available in moment, pop spectra (uncalibrated raw spectra) and calibrated spectra hourly files.  The S-band spectra were calibrated against the surface disdrometer to determine a radar calibration constant.  Calibrated spectra were constructed for each profile and are expressed as reflectivity spectral density.  After calibration, the instrument provides a reflectivity estimate through the precipitation.  Data is in hourly files in the netCDF format.

The S-band Profiler Raw dataset was saved in two data formats: netCDF anda proprietary Vaisala SPC format. The numeric values in both formats are exactly the same.  The S-band Profiler Raw dataset in the netCDF format was gathered during the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) in Oklahoma April-June 2011 and consists of uncalibrated Doppler velocity spectra data in units of relative power return.  The S-band 2.8 GHz profiler points vertically and measures the backscattered power from raindrops and ice particles as precipitating cloud systems pass overhead.  The profiler processes radar pulses during a 7-second dwell before calculating and saving uncalibrated Doppler velocity spectra at each range gate that were separated by 60-meters in the vertical.  Data collected during each hour are saved in two files.  All precipitation mode profiles are saved in one hourly data file and all attenuated mode profiles are saved in another hourly data file.  After calibration, calibrated data can be obtained from the S-band Original Dwell and Minute datasets.

The Pawnee radar data for the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) held in Oklahoma were collected on May 24, 2011 to support the CHILL radar and the NASA ER-2 instrumentation data.  The Pawnee is a single polarization (V polarization) Doppler radar which was located at approx. azimuth 352 deg / range 48 km with respect to CHILL.  The half-power antenna pattern main lobe beamwidth is ~1.8 degrees.  During the ER2 flight, the Pawnee conducted a wide azimuth opening PPI sector volume scan oriented towards the east designed to provide general 3D coverage of the ER2 flight area.  When the ER2 reported starting a course reversal; the CHILL and Pawnee radars attempted to start sector scans at the same time to support dual Doppler wind analyses.  In an effort to expand the MC3E sampling to a wider geographical area, the NASA ER2 aircraft was directed to Northeastern Colorado while widespread rain was in progress on May 24 2011.  The aircraft flew a series of pre-defined ground tracks that coincided with radials from the CSU-CHILL radar.  This aided in keeping the aircraft in the plane of a series of RHI scans done by CSU-CHILL.  The single polarization CSU-Pawnee radar maintained volume coverage of the echo system while the radial flight legs were in progress.  During aircraft course reversals at the ends of the radial legs, the CHILL and Pawnee radars started volume scans in synchronization to support dual Doppler wind syntheses.  CHILL and Pawnee radar data are available as separate datasets.

The Light Precipitation Evaluation Experiment (LPVEx) took place in September and October 2010 in the Gulf of Finland to characterize the ability of CloudSat, the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR), and existing/planned passive microwave (PMW) sensors such as the GPM microwave imager (GMI) to detect light rain and evaluate their estimates of rainfall intensity in high latitude, shallow freezing level environments.  The experiment leveraged in situ microphysical property measurements, coordinated remote sensing observations, and cloud resolving model simulations of high latitude precipitation systems to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of precipitation algorithms for current and future satellite platforms.  The campaign will use these measurements to better understand the process of light rainfall formation at high latitudes and augment the currently limited database of light rainfall microphysical properties that form the critical assumptions at the root of satellite retrieval algorithm.
The 2DVD disdrometer dataset for the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) provides data on raindrop size and precipitation drop size distribution.  The Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) took place in central Oklahoma during the April-June 2011 period.  The experiment was a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Ground Validation (GV) program.  The field campaign leveraged the unprecedented observing infrastructure currently available in the central United States, combined with an extensive sounding array, remote sensing and in situ aircraft observations, NASA GPM ground validation remote sensors, and new ARM instrumentation purchased with American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding.  The overarching goal was to provide the most complete characterization of convective cloud systems, precipitation, and the environment that has ever been obtained, providing constraints for model cumulus parameterizations and space-based rainfall retrieval algorithms over land that had never before been available.

NASA's Lidar Atmospheric Sensing Experiment (LASE) system is an airborne DIAL (Differential Absorption Lidar) system used to measure water vapor, aerosols, and clouds throughout the troposphere.  LASE probes the atmosphere using lasers to transmit light in the 815-nm absorption band of water vapor.  Pulses of laser light are fired vertically below the aircraft.  A small fraction of the transmitted laser light is reflected from the atmosphere back to the aircraft and collected with a telescope receiver.  The received light indicates the amount of water vapor along the path of the laser beam.  LASE operated on the NASA DC-8 in the Geneesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) experiment with data spanning between Aug. 13, 2010 - Sep.25, 2010.

The NOAA Global Hawk In-flight Turbulence Sensor (GHIS) instrument measures acceleration at the location of the instrument.  Two accelerometers (2g and 5g full scale) are used on each of two measurement axes.  The GHIS accelerometers are from the Model 1221 family manufactured by Silicon Designs, Inc. with a frequency response of 400-600Hz.  The data system samples each sensor output at 1000 Hz and processes these data to produce mean, maximum, and root-mean square (RMS) values at 10 Hz.  The processed data are then broadcast on the GH internet and brought to the ground via Status and User UDP packets.  GHIS operated on the Global Hawk for the Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP) experiment and collected data between Aug 15, 2010 - Sep 23, 2010.

HAMSR is a 25-channel microwave atmospheric sounder operating as a cross-track scanner.  It operates in three frequency bands centered around 53, 118 and 183 GHz.  HAMSR functionality is similar to AMSU-A/B, but with additional channels.  There are three bands: an 8-channel band near 50-GHz, used for primary temperature sounding; a 10-channel band near 118 GHz, used for secondary temperature sounding and assessment of scattering; and a 7-channel band near 183 GHz, used for water vapor (humidity) sounding.  The instrument is continuously self-calibrating using internal calibration targets.  Radiometric sensitivity at the composite sampling cells provided in the archive is typically 0.1 K and ranges up to 0.25 K for the stratospheric channels.  Calibration accuracy is estimated at better than 1 K for temperature sounding and better than 2 K for water vapor sounding.  Temperature weighting function peaks are distributed between the surface and the flight altitude.

This Cloud Microphysics dataset consists of data from two probes used to measure the size, shape, and concentration of cloud particles; the two-dimensional stereo probe (2D-S), and the cloud particle imager (CPI). Both of these probes measure particle size distributions and derives extinction, particle concentration, ice water content and particle shape. Both probes provide hi-resolution black and white images of cloud particles.
The NASA Marshall Space Flight Center Lightning Nitrogen Oxides Model (LNOM) combines detailed, flash-specific measurements of lightning with both theoretical and empirical laboratory results to obtain estimates of lightning NOx production.  Each LNOM dataset is based on measurements from a specific regional VHF Lightning Mapping Array (LMA), and on ground flash location, peak current, and stroke multiplicity data from the National Lightning Detection Network (NLDN).  Both the LMA and NLDN data are used to determine the flash type (ground or cloud) of each flash occurring within an analysis cylinder.  The LNOM analyzes the LMA sources to estimate the total channel length of each flash. It also produces the Segment Altitude Distribution (SAD) product by dicing up the lightning channel into 10-m segments, and then tallies those segments as a function of altitude.  From all of the 10-m segments, the LNOM computes the vertical lightning NOx profile inside the analysis cylinder and the total NOx produced by each flash.  A summation of the NOx profiles contributed to the analysis cylinder by each flash gives the final lightning NOx profile product for the analysis period studied (typically a 1 month profile).  The LNOM NOx profiles include NOx from several non-return stroke lightning NOx production mechanisms.  Users of LNOM data typically include regional air quality and global chemistry/climate modelers who need to better-parameterize lightning NOx sources.  Rather than assigning an unrealistic fixed amount of NOx to ground and cloud flashes, the modeler can employ LNOM data to assign realistic (and statistical) NOx profiles to each flash.

This dataset is part of the collection of Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) and Special Sensor Microwave Imager Sounder (SSMIS) data products produced as part of NASA's MEaSUREs Program.  Remote Sensing Systems generates SSM/I and SSMIS binary data products using a unified, physically based algorithm to simultaneously retrieve ocean wind speed (at 10 meters), water vapor, cloud water, and rain rate.  The SSMIS data have been carefully intercalibrated on the brightness temperature level with the previous SSM/I and therefore extend this important time series of ocean winds, vapor, cloud and rain values.  This algorithm is a product of 20 years of refinements, improvements, and verifications.  The Global Hydrology Resource Center has reformatted the binary data into a netCDF data product for each temporal group for each satellite.  The netCDF SSMI/SSMIS collection will be available for F8, F10, F11, F13, F14, F15, F16, F17 for each temporal aggregation: daily, 3-day, weekly and monthly.
