ER-2 X-Band Doppler Radar (EXRAD) IMPACTS
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/impacts/exrad/data101
The ER-2 X-band Radar (EXRAD) IMPACTS dataset consists of radar reflectivity and Doppler velocity estimates collected by the EXRAD onboard the NASA ER-2 high-altitude research aircraft.
Description
These data were gathered 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 (2020-2023).
The campaign 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 significantly advance prediction capabilities. The EXRAD IMPACTS dataset files are available from January 25, 2020, through March 2, 2023, in HDF-5 format.
