MC3E Science Plan

Document Description

Science plan for the Mid-Continent Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E), scheduled for the spring of 2011. This campaign will be conducted in cooperation with the Department of Energy's (DoE) Atmospheric Radiation Program (ARM). The field campaign will be conducted in south-central Oklahoma. The goal of the campaign is to contribute to the improvement of radar and microwave precipitation retrieval algorithms over land.

"Enclosed is the 2007 TRMM Senior Review proposal in response to NASA's request. We are very excited about the continuation of the TRMM mission.

Dual-frequency Dual-polarized Doppler Radar (D3R)

Submitted by JacobAdmin on

The D3R will operate as part of GPM Ground Validation, supporting GPM pre-launch algorithm development and will contribute to post-launch precipitation product validation. In the pre-launch era, the D3R provides independent estimation of hydrometeor classification and drop size distribution retrievals. The radar thus offers an insight into the microphysical processes that dominate the retrieval (and associated measurement error) of precipitation types and rates from satellite data.
