Description
This GPM Ground Validation TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA) IPHEx dataset is a subset of the TMPA 3B42RT gridded precipitation product selected for the time period of the GPM Ground Validation Integrated Precipitation and Hydrology Experiment (IPHEx) held in North Carolina during May 1, 2014 to June 15, 2014. The goal of IPHEx was to characterize warm season orographic precipitation regimes and the relationship between precipitation regimes and hydrologic processes in regions of complex terrain. This dataset contains 3-hourly, 0.25 degree maps of precipitation derived using microwave (MW), infra-red (IR), surface precipitation gauge measurements, and other rain products that include the TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR) data. The IPHEx TMPA product is available in netCDF-4 and binary formats.
