Airborne Precipitation Radar 3rd Generation (APR-3) CPEX-AW
The Airborne Precipitation Radar 3rd Generation (APR-3) CPEX-AW dataset consists of radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity for all bands, linear depolarization ratio Ku-band, and normalized radar cross section measurements at Ka- and Ku- bands data collected by the APR-3 onboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft. These data were gathered during the Convective Processes Experiment – Aerosols & Winds (CPEX-AW) field campaign. CPEX-AW was a joint effort between the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) with the primary goal of conducting a post-launch calibration and validation activities of the Atmospheric Dynamics Mission-Aeolus (ADM-AEOLUS) Earth observation wind Lidar satellite in St. Croix. These data files are available from August 20, 2021 through September 4, 2021 in a MatLab file, with associated browse files in JPEG format.
