Description
The ACHIEVE W-Band Cloud Radar IMPACTS dataset consists of reflectivity, signal-to-noise ratio, and radial velocity data measured during the Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic Coast-Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) field campaign. IMPACTS was a three-year sequence of winter season deployments conducted to study snowstorms over the U.S. Atlantic coast. IMPACTS aimed to (1) Provide observations critical to understanding the mechanisms of snowband formation, organization, and evolution; (2) Examine how the microphysical characteristics and likely growth mechanisms of snow particles vary across snowbands; and (3) Improve snowfall remote sensing interpretation and modeling to advance prediction capabilities significantly. ACHIEVE W-Band Cloud Radar data are available from January 23, 2023, through March 1, 2023, in netCDF-4 format.
