NPOL: GPM Precipitation Science Research Facility
NASA/GPM Radar Assets
Dual-polarization, Dual-frequency Doppler Radar (D3R)
|
D3R is NASA's Ka/Ku Dual-polarization, Dual-frequency, Doppler mobile radar. During the
winter of 2023, D3R was located in Storrs, CT to support ground observations for the
Investigation of Microphysics and Precipitation for Atlantic
Coast-Threatening Snowstorms
((IMPACTS)
In a synergistic effort GPM has deployed a suite of precipitation-measuring instruments
to the University of Connecticut (Storrs, CT). The instruments were deployed on Dec. 18,
2022 and it is envisaged that they will remain there through mid-March of 2023. This
year GPM GV will provide instruments at two site: GAIL and D3R.
