Not listed VALIDATION (GV) FIELD CAMPAIGN THAT OCCURRED NOVEMBER 2015 THROUGH FEBRUARY 2016 TO VALIDATE MEASUREMENTS OF THE GLOBAL PRECIPITATION MISSION (GPM) SATELLITE. THE FIELD PROJECT CALLED THE OLYMPIC MOUNTAINS EXPERIMENT (OLYMPEX) WAS CONDUCTED OVER THE OLYMPICPENINSULA IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST OF NORTH AMERICA THE OLYMPIC MOUNTAIN RANGE AND THE ADJACENT OCEANS. DATA COLLECTED DURING OLYMPEX WILL BE USED TO VALIDATE THE GPM INSTRUMENTS' ALGORITHM PHYSICS EVALUATE GPM'S ABILITY TO MEASURE MIDLATITUDE PRECIPITATION OVER THE OCEAN AND COMPLEX TERRAIN AND ASSESS THE UTILITY OF GPM TO SUPPORT WEATHER AND HYDROLOGICAL PREDICTIONS IN SUCH REGIONS. SPECIFICALLY THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES THREE IMPORTANT AREAS REQUIRING ANALYSIS DURING THIS POST-FIELD PHASE. THESE INCLUDE: (1) PROCESSING OF THE X-BAND RADAR DATA COLLECTED BY THE DOPPLER ON WHEELS (DOW) WHICH WAS LOCATED ON LAKE QUINAULT; (2) ANALYZING THE GROUND PRECIPITATION DATA AND RELATING THE MEASURED PRECIPITATION INTENSITY AND DROP SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS TO STORM SECTOR STORM TYPE AND LOCATION WITH RESPECT TO COMPLEX TERRAIN; AND (3) PROVIDING ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS BASED ON SOUNDING OBSERVATIONS AND HIGH RESOLUTION REALTIME MODELING DATA DURING SPECIFIC AIRCRAFT LEGS THAT CAN BE PROCESSED INTO THE PRECIPITATION ALGORITHMS FOR THE KU- KA- W-BAND AIRCRAFT BORNE RADAR FLOWN ON THE DC-8 AIRCRAFT THE APR-3 AND TO MICROPHYSICAL MEASUREMENTS MADE BY THE CITATION AIRCRAFT.
