Access to Radar Profiler and Related Data

These data were collected by Dr. Christopher Williams from the University of Colorado at Boulder/NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory under funding from NASA's Precipitation Measuring Mission. The data are being provided to the NASA PMM community to help validate and improve satellite retrieval algorithms and cloud resolving models. The data sets are derived from surface rain gauges, a disdrometer, and vertical pointing profilers deployed at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC) wind profiler site near Darwin, Australia during the Tropical Western Pacific - International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE). Documentation to the data can be found by clicking here.
