Description

The Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) was deployed during the Convection and Moisture Experiments (CAMEX-1) conducted at Wallops Island, VA. AMPR data were collected at a combination of frequencies (10.7, 19.35, 37.1, and 85.5 GHz) during the time period of September 26 - October 5, 1993. The geographic domain of the CAMEX region was between 25.5N - 43N latitude and 70W - 83W longitude.
