GPM Ground Validation C-band Kerava (KER) Radar LPVEx V1

Metadata Updated: September 19, 2025

The GPM Ground Validation C-Band Radar LPVEx datasets include radar reflectivity data from the Kerava (KER) dual-polarimetric C-Band Doppler radar in Finland during the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission Light Precipitation Validation Experiment (LPVEx) field campaign. This radar, along with four others, provided reflectivity measurements for light precipitation systems during LPVEx. This field campaign took place around the Gulf of Finland, aiming to provide additional high-latitude, light rainfall measurements for the improvement of GPM satellite precipitation algorithms. The Kerava C-Band Radar data files are available in RAW and UF format from September 21 through October 20, 2010.
