GPM Ground Validation Pluvio Precipitation Gauges OLYMPEX V1

Description

The GPM Ground Validation Pluvio Precipitation Gauges OLYMPEX dataset contains one-minute precipitation rate and precipitation accumulation measurements, as well as start and end times of precipitation events, that were collected during the Olympic Mountain Experiment (OLYMPEX) field campaign on the Olympic Peninsula in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. A Pluvio 400 weighing bucket gauge created by OTT Hydromet in Kempten, Germany was used to collect data at three different sites: Neilton Point (apu04), Wynoochee Trailer (apu10), and Upper Quinault Enchanted Valley (apu30). Data were collected from October 31, 2015 through January 31, 2016, but exact dates vary by site. Data files are available in ASCII-tsv format.
