ICE-POP 2018 (South Korea, Feb 8-25, 2018)

ICE-POP 2018 (Korea) [Pyeonchang, South Korea] The International Collaborative Experiment for Pyeongchange Olympic and Paralympics (ICE-POP) was held in South Korea in February 2018. The NASA GPM Ground Validation program assisted the Korean Meteorological Administration (KMA) with the execution of the International Collaborative Experiment for the Pyeongchang Olympics and Paralympics (ICE-POP) 2018 field campaign. GPM provided ground-based instruments for forecast and research studies before, during and after the planned 2018 Winter Olympic Games.

Olympic Mountain Experiment (Olympex)

Olympic Mountain Experiment (Olympex) [Northwest Washington, Nov 2015 - Jan 2016] The Olympic Mountain Experiment (Olympex) was held in northwest Washington on the Olympic Peninsula during the 2015-2016 winter.

Iowa Flood Survey (IFloodS)

Iowa Flood Survey (IFloodS) [Eastern Iowa, May 1 - Jun 15, 2013] NASA, in collaboration with other government agencies and members of the U.S. academic research community, conducted a field experiment in northeastern Iowa called the Iowa Flood Studies, or IFloodS. The main goal of the experiment was to support Ground Validation program activities of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite mission.

Mid-Latitude Continental Convective Cloud Experiment

NASA MC3E Field Campaign Page [North Central Oklahoma, ARM Site, Apr 22 - Jun 6, 2012] The Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) took place in central Oklahoma [MAP] from April 22 through June 6, 2011. The experiment is a collaborative effort between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Ground Validation (GV) program. The field campaign leveraged the unprecedented observing infrastructure currently available in the central United States, combined with an extensive sounding array, remote sensing and in situ aircraft observations, NASA GPM ground validation remote sensors, and new ARM instrumentation.

GPM Cold Season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEX)

NASA GCPEX Field Campaign Web Page [Ontario, Canada/Great Lakes Region] GCPEx was conducted over and near the Ontario, Canada/Great Lakes Environment Canada CARE site from January 17 to February 29, 2012. The experiment is designed to measure properties of falling snow for understanding frozen precipitation processes in association with improving and quantifying the detection limits and estimation errors of snowfall retrieval algorithms being developed for GPM. GCPEx addressed topics related to satellite algorithm development including assessment of minimum detectable snow rates, discrimination of rain and falling snow, discriminating falling snow from snow-covered land surfaces, microphysical assumptions in the algorithms, spatial heterogeneity of precipitation and its relationship to the aforementioned topics.
